Fiji Where is

Fiji (sometimes called the Fiji Islands), is a Melanesian country in the South Pacific Ocean.

It lies about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand and consists of an archipelago that includes 332 islands, a handful of which make up most of the land area, and approximately 110 of which are inhabited.

Fiji Where is - Information

Fiji straddles the 180 degree longitude line (which crosses land on a remote tip of Vanua Levu and again near the centre of Taveuni), so the international date line jogs east, placing Fiji all in one time zone and, "ahead" of most of the rest of the world.

Fiji is a group of 300 islands, 100 of which are inhabited, surrounding the Koro Sea in the South Pacific Ocean.

Other info about Fiji Where is

It has two main islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Leva. Viti Levu covers about half of Fiji area. Vanua Leva takes a third of the land. It is about 1,300 miles north of New Zealand. Fiji's total land area is 7,055 square miles.

The larger islands originated from volcanoes, but the smaller ones are coral reefs. There is very little level ground in the Fiji Islands. The chief rivers are the Rewa, the Ba, the Navua, and the Dreketi.

The archipelago contains landscape that ranges from white sandy beaches with crystal clear blue waters to lush rain forested mountain tops. The area is a popular wedding and honeymoon destination, but many arrive to enjoy the numerous water activities and tropical atmosphere.
