Faaite Atoll

Faaite is a coral atoll north of Anaa in the Tuamotus, with a passage through the reef into its lagoon. Pedro Fernandes de Queirós sighted it in 1606 and named it Decena. In 1820 Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen visited with the Vostok and Mirny, giving the atoll another name, Miloradovich.
