Kohinoina

Kohinoina is a small, uninhabited island located in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,000 kilometers north of New Zealand. It is part of the Kermadec Islands, a chain of volcanic islands that stretch over 1,000 kilometers. The island is known for its rugged terrain, with steep cliffs and a volcanic crater that forms its highest point. Kohinoina is part of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve, which is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its exceptional biodiversity and unique marine ecosystems. The island is home to a variety of seabirds, including albatrosses and petrels, as well as several species of marine mammals such as seals and dolphins. The waters surrounding Kohinoina are also rich in coral reefs and diverse fish species. The island's remote location and harsh environment make it difficult to access, and it is not open to public visitation. Instead, it is primarily a site for scientific research and conservation efforts.
