- Book Synopsis
- The South Pacific is a vast expanse of ocean-over 50 million km²-with tiny scattered islands and island groups. From Kiribati, Tuvalu, and Fiji in the west, to the far-flung Marquesas and Austral Islands in French Polynesia in the east, this book surveys and discovers the butterfly inhabitants of these tropical islands. For completeness, Hawai'i to the north-where there are many fewer islands in an otherwise empty ocean-is included. To the south and with a much larger land area, lies temperate New Zealand, with a further string of islands reaching into subantarctic waters.
