Cook Islands General Information - Allgemeine Informationen Location / Lage The extension of the Cook Islands in the South Pacific is from nine degrees south of the equator to the Tropic of Capricorn. Samoa and Tonga flank the Cook Is. to the west and French Polynesia to the east. The Cook Islands have a total land area of 240 sq km. They are devided into the northern group and the southern group. Rarotonga, the largest island, has 67 sq km and is located in the southern group. It's also center of economy and administration. In 1994 the Cook Is. had 19,000 inhabitants. About 11,000 live in Rarotonga. The Cook Islanders live in a 'free association' with New Zealand. English and Maori are spoken on the islands. Currency The currency of the Cook Islands is the New Zealand Dollar with own additional coins and banknotes like the 3 $ note you see here. The front of the 3 $ banknote of the Cook Islands shows an outrigger which is a typical type of boots for Polynesia. The outrigger is paralel to the hull of the boat connected with two or more cross-beams. That way the boat gets more stability and it was possible for the Polynesian people to sail on the Pacific Ocean. On the back you see the young Ina who is brought by a shark to the island Mangaia Economy / Wirtschaft 1992 Cook Islands had a revenue of 53 Million NZ$ from tourism. 1991 the country imported goods for 94.5 Million NZ$ and exported goods for 9.4 Million NZ$.

Geographically Oceania is devided into three different cultural regions: Melanesia, the black islands, Micronesia, the small islands and Polynesia, the many islands. P T he area east of Micronesia and Melanesia is called the "Polynesian Triangle". The Hawai'ian Islands (USA) in the north, New Zealand in the west and Rapa Nui/Easter Island (Chile) in the east form the angles of this triangle. The Fiji Islands are situated at the transition zone between Polynesia and Melanesia. D Genesis of the Pacific Islands / Enstehung der pazifischen Inseln T he geological young Pacific Islands were built by volcanoes erupting molten rock from magma reservoirs at depth under the ocean at many places. Lava flowed into the sea and set, formed high mountains and with it many islands of Polynesia like the Hawai'ian Islands or Tahiti. D L ater some of these volcanoes subsided in the ocean basin again. If there were coral reefs attached to the island shores they continued building upward as the island subsided. When the island sank out of sight the reef persisted. These forms with circular coral reefs enclosing a lagoon are the atolls we associate the paradise with.

Alohacyberian of Hawaii - Geography - Travels of Keith Martin Geography of Hawaii BOOKMARK THIS PAGE IF YOU PLAN TO RETURN! The Islands Page Information about each of the individual Hawaiian Islands. Every island is unique and has its own distinct history and flavor. The different islands possess special geographical and cultural features which distinguish them from the other islands of Hawaii and Polynesia. COASTLINES AND HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF EACH ISLAND The Hawaiian Islands were all formed by volcanoes that erupted above the surface of the ocean beginning in a pattern that goes southeast from the oldest to the youngest islands. The first and oldest island is Kure in the extreme northwest portion of the Hawaiian archipelago. Nearby Midway Atoll was the second Hawaiian volcano to break the surface of the ocean and it lies over a thousand-two hundred miles northwest of the eight major Hawaiian islands. Stretching more that twelve hundred miles from Midway to Niihau are over 130 small islands, islets and shoals which begin the expanse which is almost 1,600 miles from Kure in the northwest corner to the Big Island of Hawaii in the southeast corner.

The smaller islands closest to the eight major Hawaiian Islands, which are the youngest in the Hawaiian chain, are Nihoa and Kaula which are nearest to Niihau in the extreme northwest portion of the eight major Hawaiian islands.

Travel to the United States The Regions of the United States The States, Districts and Territories of the United States State Flag State Seal Hawaii. American FactFinder (U.S. Census) Hawaii, the "Aloha State" Abbreviation: HI The name Hawaii is believed to be an English adaptation of the native word for "homeland" ( hawaiki or owhyhee ). First settled by Polynesians sailing from other Pacific islands between A.D. 300 and 600, Hawaii was visited in 1778 by British Captain James Cook, who called the group the Sandwich Islands. Following its annexation in 1898, Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1900. Hawaii is the youngest state, joining the Union in 1959 as the 50th state, just after Alaska. Hawaii is world famous for its pleasant climate and spectacular beauty. It has deep-blue seas, brilliantly colored flowers, graceful palm trees, magnificent waterfalls and dramatic volcanoes. Hawaii consists of a chain of 132 islands; the eight main islands are at the southeastern end of the chain. Hawaii, the "Aloha State" has many customs originating from the original Polynesian settlers.

Advanced Search/Archive Wednesday June 09, 2004 USINFO Publications An Outline of American Geography MAP CHAPTER 17 HAWAII T he Hawaiian archipelago is a string of islands and reefs, 3,300 kilometers long, that forms a broad arc in the mid-Pacific. The archipelago begins in the east with the island of Hawaii and ends almost at the international date line with a small speck in the ocean called Kure Atoll ( Map 16 : 21K). Only the easternmost 650 kilometers of the state contains islands of any size, as well as almost all of the state's population. It is this portion that is usually considered as the actual "Hawaii." The eight main islands of HawaiiOahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Lanai, Molokai, Niihau, and Kahoolawecontain more than 99 percent of the state's land area and all but a handful of its people. The island of Hawaii, at 8,150 square kilometers, comprises nearly two-thirds of the state's total area, and it is often referred to as simply the Big Island. The smallest of the eight, Kahoolawe, is 125 square kilometers and is uninhabited. LOCATION AND PHYSICAL SETTING Hawaii is near the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Honolulu, the state capital, is 3,850 kilometers west of San Francisco, California, 6,500 kilometers east of Tokyo, Japan, and roughly 7,300 kilometers northeast of the Australian coast. This might be viewed as a case of extreme isolation, and until the last few centuries this was probably true. But as countries around the Pacific Basin began to communicate more with one another and to use the ocean's resources, these islands became an important center of interaction.
