Penrhyn, Cook Islands

Penrhyn, also known as Tongareva is the largest and northernmost atoll of the Cook Islands. Penrhyn's lagoon, 275 square kilometres in area, dwarfs its surrounding motu, which total only six square kilometres. Its isolation, lack of resources and infrastructure, and declining population of around 200, make it a very difficult and expensive place to visit. However, on the other hand being so isolated and having a small population has allowed nature to thrive giving locals the option to be totally subsistent as the land provides more than enough food to go around. This video of Penrhyn gives a little insight into what this beautifully wild island has to offer.
