		Palm Island is the largest of the three islands, covering an area of 180796 sqm and is flat with no obvious relief; its highest point is only about 6m above sea level.
		The smallest island, with an area of 34.903 sqm is located north west of Palm Island.

	Palm Islands Information
		The Palm is constructed of sand islands that are made of sand dredged from the bottom of the Gulf which is conveniently narrow, and shallow, and the sand was then sprayed by the dredging ships, which were guided by GPS, onto the required area in a process known as rainbowing.
		After the island had been constructed, the Dutch scientists discovered that the tide could not reach all around the palm and if left, the water would stagnate at the top of the palm, and it would become a haven for algae and mosquitos.
		The current takes the shortest route around the Palm, and therefore does not flow into the enclaves on either side of it; the water that does enter the enclaves is no longer pushed by the current and therefores loses its energy and deposits all of the objects it was carrying.

	Cook Islands Biodiversity : The Origin of the Coconut Palm
		Harries (1990) concluded that the Coconut Palm originated in the Malay-Indonesia area and dispersed on the sea to colonise islands and shores in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
		During the 1990s Coconut Palm pollen was found in lake sediments on Atiu dated at 6,600BC, and in the lake sediments on Mangaia at 5,300BC.
		It is obvious that the Coconut Palm pollen of Atiu and Mangaia greatly pre-dates settlement by people, and this indicates that this palm is native in the Cook Islands.
