Matureivavao

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matureivavo (21˚29'S., 136˚24'W.), the largest atoll within the Acteon Group. It is about 4 miles long in a NNW-SSE direction and is high enough to be visible from a considerable distance, and gives the appearance of a sandy beach, backed by a line of dark green. Some buildings lie on the NW side of the atoll. In bad weather, the seas sometimes sweep over the reef. There is no entrance to the lagoon.
