With a land area of 105.3 square kilometers (42.1 square Miles), it is the seventh largest island (approximately 5x10 miles) of Fiji. Its latitude is 17.18°; its longitude is 179.24°. Its population in 1960 was around 2,500. As of 2007 around 4,500 Fijians lived on the island, in 14 villages, today a lot of families of European countries are building houses in this island.
