David Stanley Quotes
French Polynesia Embraces A Vast Ocean Area Strewn With Faraway Outer Islands, Each With A Mystique Of Its Own. The 118 Islands And Atolls Are Scattered Over An Expanse Of Water 18 Times The Size Of California, Though In Dry Land Terms The Territory Is Only Slightly Bigger Than Rhode Island. The Distance From One End Of The Island Groups To Another Is Four Times Further Than From San Francisco To Los Angeles. Every Oceanic Island Type Is Represented In These Sprawling Archipelagoes Positioned Midway Between California And New Zealand. The Coral Atolls Of The Tuamotus Are So Low They're Threatened By Rising Sea Levels, While Volcanic Tahiti Soars To 2,241 Meters. Bora Bora And Maupiti, Also High Volcanic Islands, Rise From The Lagoons Of What Would Otherwise Be Atolls.
