Ngau Atoll

Gau rises from the sea west of the Lau Islands and belongs to the Lomaiviti group of Fiji. Unlike a low coral atoll, it is a high volcanic island, with hills above coastal settlements and fringing reefs. The waters separating Gau from neighbouring islands form part of the Koro Sea, a broad basin enclosed by Fiji’s main islands and the Lau chain to the east.
