The Croatian Kornati archipelago (Ialian: "Arcipelago delle Incoronate") is located in northern Dalmatia, south of Zadar, but in Šibenik-Knin county. With 150 islands in a sea area of about 320 km² "Kornati" are the densest archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. [cite book | author=Skračiċ, Vladimir | title=Kornat Islands | location=Zadar | publisher=Forum | year=2003 | id=ISBN 953-179-600-9]

The southern part of the archipelago, which roughly corresponds to the part of the archipelago called "Donji Kurnat" (Lower Kurnat) was declared a national park in 1980.

Kornat, with its area of 32,525,315 m², the biggest of the islands, comprises two-thirds of the park's land area. Although the island is 25.2 km long, it is no wider than about 2.5 km.

There are no permanent settlements in Kornati. Simple houses in well-protected coves such as "Vruje", "Kravjačica", "Lavsa" and others are used by land owners as temporary shelters. Most of the land owners are from the island of Murter.

In August 2007, a fire on Kornat island resulted in the death of 12 Croatian firefighters.
