Tauere Atoll orTaouere, also known asTe Putua, is a small atoll of the centralTuamotu Archipelago inFrench Polynesia. It is located 85 kilometres (53 miles) northwest ofHao Atoll's westernmost point.[2]

Tauere Atoll is squarish in shape. It measures 7.5 kilometres (4.7 miles) across. The islands are located on its northern and eastern sides. Its lagoon is not connected to the ocean by a pass, which makes this small atoll quite inaccessible.

Tauere has only 3 inhabitants. In 2007 it had 7 inhabitants.[3]

History

[edit]

The first European recorded sight of the atoll was by the Spanish expedition ofPedro Fernandez de Quirós on 12 February 1606. They charted it asLa Decena.[4] Tauere was again sighted by Spanish navigatorDomingo de Boenechea on October 28, 1772 on the shipAguila.[5] He sailed fromCallao on September 26, 1772, to establish a colony on Tahiti.[6] He called this atollSan Simon y Judas.[7] Hence this atoll appears in some maps asSt. Simon.[8]

Administration

[edit]

Administratively Tauere belongs to the commune ofAmanu (Main village: Ikitake) which includes the atolls ofRekareka (uninhabited) and Tauere.The Amanu commune is associated with theHao commune.
