Mataiva Atoll, French Polynesia

View from space of the Mataiva Atoll, the westernmost atoll of the Tuamotu Archipelago, part of French Polynesia. Mataiva Atoll is notable in that its central lagoon includes a network of ridges (white, image center) and small basins formed from eroded coral reefs. Mataiva means "nine eyes" in Tuamotuan, an allusion to nine narrow channels on the south-central portion of the island.
