Rotuma, Dependency in South Pacific Ocean, Fiji
Rotuma consists of a volcanic landmass with eight smaller islets, covering 47 square kilometers at 128 meters above sea level.
The British naval ship Pandora first discovered the island in 1791 while searching for HMS Bounty mutineers in the Pacific waters.
The population maintains distinct Polynesian traditions separate from the Melanesian culture of mainland Fiji, with their own language and customs.
The island contains three main settlements: Ahau with administrative offices, Motusa with a western port, and Oinafa with northeastern harbor facilities.
The local council voted against tourism development in 1985 to maintain traditional lifestyle patterns and protect community structures.
