Hiti, Atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia

Hiti, also called Hiti-rau-mea, is an oval atoll of the Tuamotu Archipelago, 19 km southwest of Makemo. It measures 9 km by 6 km, with narrow islets along the northern reef totalling about 3 km²; the broader southern reef bears no islands. Its lagoon has no pass to the ocean, and the atoll is permanently uninhabited.

Hiti was first sighted by a European in 1820, when the Russian explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen reached the atoll. It is permanently uninhabited and belongs to the commune of Makemo, which also administers Makemo, Haraiki, Marutea Nord, Katiu, Tuanake, Tepoto Sud, Raroia, Takume, Taenga and Nihiru. Together with Tepoto Sud and Tuanake it forms the group known as the Raevski Atolls.

Hiti is permanently uninhabited, so it has no resident traditions of its own. Its name also appears as Hiti-rau-mea, and together with Tepoto Sud and Tuanake it forms the group called the Raevski Atolls. The Tuamotu reed warbler and the Polynesian ground dove are found in this area.

Hiti has no pass connecting its lagoon to the ocean, so there is no anchorage inside the reef; vessels stay in the open water off the reef. The atoll lies 19 km southwest of Makemo, and its narrow islets sit only on the northern side of the reef.

Hiti's lagoon has no pass connecting it to the ocean, so its water stays enclosed by the reef. The atoll is permanently uninhabited, and its only land is a set of narrow islets on the northern reef, about 3 km² in total.
