Title : Lifou Island, Loyality Islands November 1990

Caption :

The largest and most important island of the Loyality Islands, Lifou, can be seen in this northwest-looking view. Irregular in shape, Lifou Island is 50 miles (81 km) long and 10 to 15 miles (16 to 24 km) wide. The island is flat with no hills or rivers, but has abundant vegetation, fertile soils, and terraced cliffs. Lifou Island is a former coral atoll that was part of a submerged volcano. Nearly 2 million years ago, the island was uplifted to its present shape and elevation. Tourism is a major industry on the island. Chief exports include copra, rubber, and sugarcane. The water, since there are no rivers on Lifou, comes from rain that seeps through the calcareous soil and forms freshwater ponds. The major city on Lifou is We, which is located near the center of the image.
