Tepuka Island


Across the Tuvalu Atoll from Funafuti lies a small uninhabited island called Tepuka.   This was my first ever uninhabited "desert island".  Just palm trees and coconuts.

The remnants of the volcano that formed the atoll thousands of years ago can still be seen rising above the sand.  In the distance a deceptively fierce surf can be seen breaking on the coral reef.
