		When I planned my trip, I had the choice of several islands but the fact that Mitiaro is home to the only endemic palm tree in the Cook Islands and I was unable to find photographs of this plant anywhere on the 'net were factors in my choosing this island.
		The palms are in good condition and Mitiaro has relatively few of the invasive plants and birds that plague the other islands in the southern Cooks.

		Like the other raised atolls, Mitiaro has a close reef, no large beaches, a ring of makatea and a centre of more fertile land.
		Every island is in some way distinctive, however, and in Mitiaro's case its singularity lies within the two lakes - Rotonui (Big Lake) and Rotoiti (Small Lake) - which are a little way inland on the eastern side of the island.
		Eels always return to the sea to spawn, so it can be assumed that the itiki of Mitiaro find their way to the surrounding sea through subterranean channels.
