Nukunonu was named Duke of
Clarence Island by Captain Edwards of HMS Pandora in 1791, while
searching for HMS Bounty mutineers.
It's the largest of the three
atolls, with 24 islets measuring 4.7 sq km (1.8 sq mi) all up and the
largest lagoon at 98 sq km (38 sq mi).
Two motos are settled on Catholic
Nukunonu, and the other feature of note is its extremely pragmatic village
hall - a cargo shed.
