In the Tuamotus an archipelago that extends over nearly 20,000 km2 the biggest atoll is called Rangiroa, which means "big sky" in Tahitian.
Beyond Rangiroa, tiny islands populated sometimes by a few dozen inhabitants stretch into the distance. Apataki, Kaukura, Niau. 500 inhabitants here, a 100 there, somewhere else a few dozen, scattered across this space where the sea provides all.
