It is administratively a part of the Gambier Islands. GeographyTenarunga is located {{convert|15|km|0|abbr=off}} northwest of Matureivavao, {{convert|6|km|0|abbr=off}} west of Vahanga and {{convert|1375|km|0|abbr=off}} southeast of Tahiti. It has a land area of {{convert|2.3|km2|1|abbr=off}} and a total area (lagoon inclusive) of {{convert|5|km2|0|abbr=off}}. There are some buildings and a dock located on the north-east side of the island, indicating former and/or seasonal habitation. The atoll's lagoon is not accessible from the sea. HistoryThe first recorded sighting of this atoll was made during the Spanish expedition of the Portuguese navigator Pedro Fernández de Quirós on 5 February 1606 under the name Las Cuatro Coronadas (the "four crowned" (by coconut palms)),[2][3] however, these observations were not fully documented. As such, the first unambiguous approach to the island was made on 14 March 1828 by the explorer Hugh cumin in his ship the Discoverer captained by Samuel Grimwood. The next visit was in 1833 by the navigator Thomas Ebrill on his merchant's vessel Amphitrite and again in 1837 by Lord Edward Russell, commander of the H.M.S Actaeon, the name given to the group.[4] It was previously owned by a man named Captain Nicholas but was redeemed in 1934.[5] Flora and faunaThe island is home to many rare species including the Tuamotu sandpiper.[6] See also
