Walpole Island (New Caledonia)

Walpole Island (French: ''Île de Walpole'') is a small and uninhabited French island, east of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. Although it is geographically part of the Loyalty Islands, administratively it belongs to the Isle of Pines municipality of New Caledonia.
== History ==
There is no evidence that the island had any prehistoric inhabitants. A few bones were found in caves suggesting that shipwreck or other castaways had occupied the island.〔 ( Atoll Research Bulletin by Alain Renevier and Jean-François Cherrier, 1991 )〕 British captain Butler discovered the island in 1794 and named it after his ship ''Walpole''.〔
From 1910 through 1936 guano was mined on the island and about 150,000 tonnes were exported to New Zealand.〔
The island is only visited by scientific naturalist research missions.
