the islands of this map. The acient name of the Marquesas was “te Fenua
Enata” what means Land of Man. The location, 1.500 km north east from
Thahiti, 10° south and 139°west in the southpacific ozean, is really
isolated, so that visitors can find huge areas of untouched nature just like
in paradise.
Seven out of all up fourteen islands are inhabited. As a territory of
French, the archipelago is part of the European Union. The administration is
placed in Taiohae a Town in Nuku Hiva.
