	Tongareva Island
		Tongareva (or Penrhyn Island) is a large atoll, the northern side of which is 537 nautical miles south of the equator.
		The native name, Tongareva, means "floating Tonga," and was given to the atoll by the Polynesian discoverers.
		Tradition states that they came to Tongareva from Manihiki, although darker skin and a different dialect have led to statements that they are of a different stock.

	Ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics - nzepc
		In 'Teu' the return to Tongareva is portrayed as a return to the mother whose untimely death, together with that of Campbell's father, led to the poet's departure from the Cook Islands and his separation from his Tongaravan family.
		In Tongareva, it has been retained as part of the hakapapa - suggesting that while the ancestor is buried 'under an untidy heap of stones', the memory of this love is well preserved.
		Tongareva is renowned in the Cook Islands for the number of its marae (Henry, 72).

	Oceania - The Northwest Atolls and The Eastern Atolls by Peter Buck
		Farther to the southeast are the inhabited atolls, Manihiki, Rakahanga, and Tongareva (Penrhyn).
		Tongareva alone retains a legend of an early settlement that preceded the voyagers from Tahiti.
		Mahuta sailed for Tongareva in his voyaging canoe Waimea, which was so large that on sailing through the western passage, which is forty yards wide, the outrigger float struck against a large rock that stood on the side of the passage.

	Cook Islands and the Blackbirders
		Byrne decided to stop over at the atoll of Tongareva in the northern Cook Group, which lay on their route in order to investigate the commercial possibilities of their lagoon, known to contain the beche-de-mer and pearl-shell.
		The first ship to then arrive at Tongareva was the brig Trujillo who kidnapped a local chief as interpreter, with his wife and two boys, before joining the Apurimac and Manuelita Costas off Manihiki, where they hoped to be the first to recruit from this island.
		Tongareva is the largest atoll in the Cook Group and its characteristic pattern of dispersed settlement had led to the population living on their coconut land holdings scattered around the lagoon, rather than in villages as on the smaller atolls.

	Penrhyn
		Penrhyn, referred to by its local name Tongareva, is the northernmost island of the Cook Islands situated 8.58’S 158.03’W some 1365 km north of Rarotonga.
		It is the largest of the atolls in the northern group and the numerous islets (motu) cover a land area of 10 sq./km.
		Most families in Tongareva own a boat as it is the mode of transport for gathering food from the motu, for fishing outside the lagoon and for transport to pearl farms.

	Charlotte Chambers in Penrhyn
		Mention Pasua to most Cook Islanders and they'll lick their lips and tell you how tasty it is. Tongareva is probably the only island left in the Cooks where Pasua is still plentiful although even locals concede that it's not so easy to get a good size Pasua any more.
		She is currently on Tongareva to do research into Pasua for her PhD thesis in human geography.
		She has just returned to Tongareva for a two month visit where she hopes to perform a survey of Pasua numbers in the lagoon and interview people as to the significance of this species and their knowledge concerning it.

	Trochus niloticus spawnings at Tongareva Marine Research Centre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In a recent survey by the Ministry of Marine Resources, the broodstock trochus are mainly distributed on the west side of the lagoon, along the islet where Omoka, the Tongareva Marine Research Centre [TMRC] and the airport are located.
		At the end of the first week of November 1996 there were 43 trochus collected from the corals on the reef front outside of TMRC.
		In future it is hoped that a proper study will be conducted to look at the advantage of having trochus and pearl oyster spat in polyculture with regards to control of filamentous algae, especially around pearl oyster spat.

	Tongareva (Penrhyn) Atoll - Cook Islands - Northern Group, South Pacific Ocean
		The inhabitants at that time did not generally think of Tongareva as being one island, rather it was several warring entities.
		Tongareva, together with many other Pacific islands, suffered the ravages of Peruvian slave raiders in the 19th century.
		After voyaging to Tahiti and the southern Cook Islands where he made numerous acerbic observations about the activities of the missionaries, his ship headed north and, after being caught in a storm, was wrecked on the reef.

	January media highlights: GEOLOGY and GSA TODAY
		Roger Larson brings to the fore mapping data for a 2000-mile geological structure--the Tongareva triple junction--in the southwestern Pacific basin.
		In the January issue of GSA TODAY, A. Hope Jahren and Leonel Silveira Lobo Sternberg use concepts of changing global weather patterns to explain puzzling evidence from Earth’s tropical period during the Eocene.
		A geological structure called the "Tongareva triple junction" has been mapped for the first time across more than 3200 km (2000 miles) of southwestern Pacific Ocean seafloor using a high-resolution sonar system.

		Using a high-resolution sidescan sonar (DSL-120), mini autonomous plume recorders (MAPRs) and the remotely operated vehicle Jason II, Lewis and Chris identified hydrothermal vents in this propagating rift environment.
		In collaboration with Robert Pockalny and Roger Larson (URI-GSO), Lewis Abrams collected swath bathymetry, gravity and magnetics data over the trace of the Tongareva Triple Junction.
		The objective of this cruise was to determine the tectonic history of the south Pacific within the Cretaceous Magnetic Quiet Zone post the Manahiki Plateau eruption.
