Fatutaka
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Fatutaka or Fatu Taka is a small high island in the Solomon Islands province of Temotu. It is the easternmost landfall in that nation. The island, located at 12°0'36" S. lat. and 170°10'12" E. long., is the remnant of an extinct volcano. It is a small rocky outcropping, rising to an elevation of 122 m (400 ft.). The total land area of the island is 1.6 km² (0.625 sq. mi.). Fatutaka lies approximately 60 km (37.5 mi.) southeast from Anuta.
The island's soil is rocky, and not especially fertile, although it has in the past been used as a gardening location for the people of Anuta.
