Penrhyn

Penrhyn is the largest atoll in the Cook Islands, with an area of 9.8sq.km/6.07sq.mi. There are three passages through the reef, which has two motus of some size on the southwest side and numerous smaller ones to the north, east and south. Near the western passage through the reef is Omoka village, the chief place on the islands, with public buildings and administrative offices. Tautua village, the second-largest settlement, lies 14km from Omoka on the opposite side of the lagoon.
