Tereya

Tereya, also known as Tereya Island, is a small, uninhabited island located in the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) east of Fiji. It is part of the Lau Group, a collection of islands in the Tongan archipelago. The island is characterized by its rugged terrain, with steep cliffs and dense vegetation, and is home to a variety of endemic flora and fauna. Tereya is notable for its historical significance, as it was once a strategic location for the British during World War II. The island was used as a military base and airstrip, and its strategic position made it a target for both Allied and Axis forces. Today, Tereya is a protected area, with efforts underway to preserve its natural environment and cultural heritage. The island is also a popular destination for ecotourism, attracting visitors who wish to explore its unique ecosystem and learn about its history.
