Tuamotus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (928 words) |
 | The Tuamotus (French: Îles Tuamotu or officially Archipel des Tuamotu) are the largest chain of atolls in the world, spanning an area of the Pacific Ocean roughly the size of Western Europe. |
| The islands/communes in the western part of the Tuamotus form the electoral circumscription of the Islands Tuamotu-West (circonscription électorale des Îles Tuamotu Ouest), a separate electoral district for the Assembly of French Polynesia, with the 5 communes Arutua, Fakarava, Manihi, Rangiroa and Takaroa in the western part of the Tuamotus. |
| Although geographically part of the Tuamotus, the Gambier Islands, at the southeastern extreme of the archipelago, are geologically and culturally distinct. |
