Cook Islands Island Map
DIVERSELY scattered over some 850,000 square miles of ocean (2.2 million sq km), the many islands and atolls that make up the Cook Islands are separated by great distances. In the south many of the nine islands are of volcanic origin while in the north there are six atolls. The capital island of Rarotonga is found in the southern region and most of the population lives on this island.

From 1900 until 1965, Cook Islands was a colony of New Zealand. Since 1965 Cook Islands has become self-governing while retaining very strong links with New Zealand. The main currency is the NZ dollar, though local Cook Islands currency is used within the country. |
