East Rennell, Raised coral atoll in Solomon Islands.
East Rennell contains Lake Te Nggano, measuring 15,500 hectares, representing the largest lake in the insular Pacific region surrounded by limestone formations.
The island's first European contact occurred in 1801 when Captain Butler of HMS Walpole arrived, leading to subsequent British annexation in 1899.
The Polynesian inhabitants of East Rennell maintain traditional agricultural practices, focusing on the cultivation of yams and taro for sustenance.
Access to East Rennell requires transportation by small aircraft to Tigoa airstrip or boat travel, with basic accommodations available through local arrangements.
The limestone cliffs of East Rennell rise 120 meters above sea level, creating a natural barrier that contains diverse ecosystems and endemic species.
