Vanavana

Vanavana, Kurataki, or Huataki is an atoll in the southeastern area of the Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia.

Vanavana's nearest neighbour is Tureia, which is located 58 kilometres (36 miles) to the east.

There is one hook-shaped large island in the north and another in the south of its reef.

Vanavana Atoll is uninhabited; however, buildings on the northern end of the island are present.

The first recorded European to arrive at Vanavana was British mariner Captain Frederick Beechey in 1826.
