	gambier islands - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		The Gambier Islands ( les Gambier in French) are a small group of islands in French Polynesia, located at the southeast terminus of the Tuamotu archipelago.
		They are generally considered a separate island group from Tuamotu both because their culture and language ( Mangarevan) are much more closely related to those of the Marquesas Islands, and because, while the Tuamotus are comprised of several chains of coral atolls, the Gambiers, especially the primary island, Mangareva, are clearly of volcanic origin.
		The highest point in the Gambiers is Mt. Duff, on Mangareva, rising to 482 m (1600 ft) along the island's south coast.
