Life in Tabuaeran, Fanning Island, Kiribati

Fanning Island, Kiribati, my 127th country! :: www.Viviana.org
Tabuaeran or "Tahanea" is known in English as Fanning Island or Atoll, is one of the Line Islands of the central Pacific Ocean and part of Kiribati. At some 900 miles (1,400 kilometres) distant, Tabuaeran is one of the closest landfalls to the Hawaiian Islands. The atoll was possibly used as a stopover by the Polynesians who first settled Hawaiʻi. Artifacts have been discovered that indicate possible early settlements by people from Polynesia-probably the Cook Islands or Tonga.
