Morane, Maritime boundary in Morane Atoll, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia.

The Morane Atoll spans 5.8 kilometers in length and 3.5 kilometers in width, featuring an 11-square-kilometer lagoon surrounded by coral reefs.

Captain Samuel Grimwood first documented the atoll in 1828 aboard the Discoverer, leading to its initial designation as Grimwood's Island.

The atoll forms part of the Gambier Islands commune, representing French maritime sovereignty in the southeastern region of French Polynesia.

The atoll contains no permanent settlements or facilities, with access limited to small vessels navigating through the surrounding waters.

The atoll supports 50 Polynesian ground-doves and 200 Tuamotu sandpipers, making it an essential habitat for these rare bird species.

Location: Gambier
