Pinaki

The tiny Pinaki atoll consists of an allmost completely closed ring of land with an area of about 1,3 kmē, which girdles the just 740 m sq small lagoon.

At present Pinaki is uninhabited, but old photographs from 1900 admit the presumption that the coconut palms, which are found here, were plantet by men.
