Teti'aroa is a privately owned atoll in the Windward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. Once the vacation spot for Tahitian royalty, the atoll is widely known for having been purchased by Marlon Brando. ==Geography== Teti'aroa is administratively part of the commune (municipality) of 'Ārue. The atoll is located 33 miles (53 km) north of Tahiti. The atoll stretches on a total surface of 2.3 square miles (6 square km); approximately 1,445 acres (585 hectares) of sand are divided in 12 motus (islets) with varying surface areas. The lagoon is approximately 4.5 miles (7 km) wide and 100 feet (30 meters) deep. The atoll has no reef opening, making access by boat nearly impossible. The islets (or motus), in clockwise order starting from the southwest corner, include: # Onetahi (with regulated airstrip and site of The Brando Resort) # Honuea # Tiaruanu # Motu Tauvini (Tauini) # Motu Ahurea (Auroa) # Hiraanae # Horoatera (Oroatera) # Motu 'Ā'ie # Tahuna Iti (almost out of sight, immersed) # Tahuna Rahi # Reiono # Motu One # Rimatu'u (with an ornithology reserve) 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「Tetiaroa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
