Niuafo'ou
The most remote island in Tonga. Also known historically as " Tin Can Island" due to late 1800's practice of passing ships floating mail in sealed tin cans for locals to swim out and retrieve. Niuafo'ou is a volcanic-rimmed island with a large crater freshwater lake called Vai Lahi. The coastline is mostly rocky cliffs with a handful of black-sand beaches.
