Manuhangi

Manuhangi (also known as Te Fara[2]) is an atoll of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia.

It has an oval shape and a coral reef completely enclosing a small lagoon.

The old Paumotu (Tuamotu's inhabitants) called this small atoll "manu hagi" (meaning "the loving bird").

[4] The first recorded European who arrived to Manuhangi was English navigator Samuel Wallis in 1767.

[4] The island has some houses with permanent structures, cisterns, and water supply from natural wells.
