Penryn is the largest and most northern of these islands, just 4 sq. miles in size, lying 9 degrees below the equator and 850 miles from Rarotonga. Four of the islands are low lying coral atolls with large sunken lagoons and the tranquil waters and warm sea temperature are perfect for black pearl farming. These islands have small fishing communities and are rarely visited. Of concern to the islanders and the Cook Islands government is the threat of global warming. These islands would be the first to disappear with even a small rise in sea level. </span><span class="text">With vast lagoons but tiny land masses with infertile soil, islanders in the remote Northern Atolls rely on fishing for much of their dietry needs. Rakahanga Atoll is a sleepy atoll with one main village on the southern island. Copra is still the major export. Finely woven Rito hats made from the young shoots of coconut palm leaves are a speciality of Rakahanga. Manihiki Atoll, renowned for its black pearl farming in the shallow lagoon. The cultivation of black pearls in the protected lagoon of Manihiki Atoll is the islanders main source of income. Penrhyn Atoll is the largest atoll in the Cook Islands and is renowned for its mother of pearl. Pukapuka Atoll has three villages, all with more similarities to Samoa than the Cooks.<br> <br> <br> </span><span class="H3">click below for detailed<br> <br> <a href="http://www.cook.islands-travel.com" title="rarotonga travel guide" target="_top">Cook Islands Travel Guide</a><br> <br> </span><span class="hotel-price"><a href="http://www.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">south pacific maps</a><br> </span><span class="links-top"><a href="http://www.the-cook-islands.com" target="_top">cook islands accommodation map</a> ; <a href="http://www.fiji-island.com" target="_top">fiji islands hotels map</a> ; <a href="http://www.samoa-islands.com" target="_top">samoa islands hotels map</a> ; <br> <a href="http://www.tahiti-islands.com" target="_top">tahiti islands hotels map</a> ; <a href="http://www.tonga-islands.com" target="_top">tonga islands hotels map</a> ; <a href="http://www.hawaii-accommodation-pictures.com" target="_top">hawaii accommodation map</a> ;<br> <br> </span></div> </td> <td width="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="1"></td> <td bgcolor="#d49f55" width="700"> <div align="left"> <div align="center"> <span class="text-bottom"><br> Thank you for visiting our website and we hope you have found it inspiring and useful.<br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">south pacific pictures</a><br> <a href="http://www.fiji.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">fiji pictures</a> ; <a href="http://www.cook-islands.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">cook islands pictures</a> ; <a href="http://www.tahiti.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">tahiti pictures</a> ; <a href="http://www.samoa.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">samoa pictures</a> ; <a href="http://www.tonga.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">tonga pictures</a> ; <a href="http://www.vanuatu.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">vanuatu pictures</a> ; <a href="http://www.new-caledonia.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">new caledonia pictures</a> ; <a href="http://www.australia.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">australia pictures</a> ; <a href="http://www.hawaii.pictures-pacific.com" target="_top">hawaii pictures</a><br> <br> <br> For a comprehensive hotel guide with information and pictures:<br> <br> <a href="http://www.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">south pacific hotels</a><br> <a href="http://www.fiji.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">fiji hotels</a> ; <a href="http://www.cook-islands.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">cook islands hotels</a> ; <a href="http://www.tahiti.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">tahiti hotels</a> ; <a href="http://www.samoa.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">samoa hotels</a> ; <a href="http://www.tonga.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">tonga hotels</a> ; <a href="http://www.vanuatu.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">vanuatu hotels</a> ; <a href="http://www.new-caledonia.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">new caledonia hotels</a> ; <a href="http://www.australia.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">australia hotels</a> ; <a href="http://www.hawaii.hotel-pictures.com" target="_top">hawaii hotels</a><br> <br> <br> For more detailed maps showing towns and villages please visit:<br> <br> <a href="http://www.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">south pacific maps</a> :<br> <a href="http://www.fiji.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">fiji maps</a> ; <a href="http://www.cook-island.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">cook island maps</a> ; <a href="http://www.tahiti.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">tahiti maps</a> ; <a href="http://www.samoa.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">samoa maps</a> ; <a href="http://www.tonga.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">tonga maps</a> ; <a href="http://www.vanuatu.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">vanuatu maps</a> ; <a href="http://www.new-caledonia.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">new caledonia maps</a> ; <a href="http://www.australia.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">australia maps</a> ; <a href="http://www.hawaii.maps-pacific.com" target="_top">hawaii maps</a><br> <br> <br> This Accommodation Guide is brought to you by <a href="http://www.southpacificpicture.com">South Pacific Pictures</a>, the photographic division of Pacific Travel Guides.
