Geography
マヌアエ Island is a true atoll located at the summit of submarine volcano which subsided in 4,000 meters of bottoms of the sea (I refer to the sedimentation theory).
In the マヌアエ island, it is from Kojima that did a character type of two コ in the east and west of the lagoon of approximately 7km *4km, and the west island is called Te Au O Tu[ equivalent questionable point] by マヌアエ, the east island. As for the area of マヌアエ, 2.1km2, the area of Te Au O Tu are 3.9km2 [1]; the total area of the whole atoll is 6.17km2[2]. The area of the lagoon is affected by shallows and the big area of the sandbar change, but the area is quite 13km2 [3]. The atoll is surrounded by coral reefs, and there is not the sea route via the coral reef [4].
The マヌアエ Island is appointed as an underwater park and becomes the important breeding place of a seabird and the sea turtle of the level out of the Pacific. In addition, the offing of the マヌアエ island becomes the good fishing ground.
History
The マヌアエ Island was discovered by James Cook who sailed Cook Islands for the first time on September 23, 1773. Cook named マヌアエ Island sandwich Island at the start, but I changed the name of the island in commemoration of the third Bristol 伯 Augustus Harvey who was Admiral of navy later in the Harvey Island and named the Hawaiian Islands the Sandwich Islands instead. The name Harvey Island was generalized later, and the whole south Cook Islands came to be called Harvey Islands. The name called Harvey Islands was common till Russian アーダム Johan phone Kruzenshtern changed it to the name called Cook Islands in commemoration of James Cook who died in 1779 in 1824.
The population of the マヌアエ island increased to 120 temporarily from April, 1965 to May. This depends on the expeditionary party from six countries of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the U.K., the United States and the Soviet Union having visited the マヌアエ island to observe a total eclipse of the sun of May 30, 1965.
It is humorous and writes the Norwegian novelist アーランド low about the exploration to the マヌアエ island in "L" which I announced in 1999.
Economic
The small copula industry by the colonist has been ever established in the sea route of the small coral reef less than 1 kilometer which was next to the northeast direction of Turakino at the west end of an atoll in the マヌアエ island. This sea route became the entrances from the lagoon to the open sea, and, as for the width, what I navigated without having the feel of the place because there was the undulation of the big wave without being filled was very dangerous to 4 meters.
There is a runway in the マヌアエ Island, but is not used. The fisherman of the Aita luck island occasionally performs the trip to the マヌアエ island. In the マヌアエ island, all the rules applied to the Aita luck Island are just applied [3].
Population statistics
As for the population of the マヌアエ island, 32 people in the national census of 1956 were greatest, but the island was abandoned 20 years later and became the uninhabited island.
