Haraiki, Atoll in Makemo, French Polynesia.
Haraiki extends across 7 kilometers in length and 5 kilometers in width, containing three distinct islets with substantial tree and shrub coverage.
Spanish navigator Domingo de Boenechea discovered this atoll on October 31, 1772, during his expedition aboard the ship Aguila, naming it San Quintín.
The atoll belongs to the Makemo commune administration, forming part of the larger Tuamotu archipelago within French Polynesian territory.
Maritime transportation remains the primary means of reaching this remote atoll, which features a lagoon pass on its southern side.
The atoll rises 2465 meters from the ocean floor, reaching a depth of 295 meters below sea level at its summit.
