Fenua Tapu is an islet of Nui atoll in the Pacific Ocean state of Tuvalu. It is the most southern and most eastern islet of Nui and is the largest (area 1.38 km²). Most Nuians live on the western end of Fenua Tapu, where a village including the settlements of Fenua Tapu and Tanrake lies. A Dutch expedition (the frigate ''Maria Reigersberg'') found Nui on the morning of June 14, 1825 and named Fenua Tapu as ''Nederlandsch Eiland''.〔Pieter Troost: ''Aanteekeningen gehouden op eene reis om de wereld: met het fregat de Maria Reigersberg en de ...'' (1829) (Digitalisat )〕 A New Island in the Pacific.— In July last, the Pollux, Dutch sloop of war,Captain Eeg, discovered a new and well-peopled island in the Pacific, to which the name of Nederlandich Island was given : its latitude and longitude laid down at 7° 10' S., and 177° 33' 16" E. from Greenwich. The natives were athletic and fierce, great thieves, and, from their shewing no symptoms of fear when muskets were discharged, evidently unacquainted with the effects of fire-arms.〔(''The Australian'' newspaper, Saturday 25 November 1826 )〕 TROOST(1829) p405 Platte Grond van het Nederlandsch-Eiland.jpg| Dutch map of the island, made in June 1825 TROOST(1829) p297 Het Nederlandsch Eiland.jpg| View of the main island TROOST(1829) p293 Het Nederlandsch Eilanden.jpg| View of the atoll ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fenua Tapu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
