Maps of Fiji

Covering an area of 18,300 sq.km (7,056 sq mi), the island nation of Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean, some 1,300 miles (2,000 km) northeast of New Zealand’s North Island; comprising of more than 332 islands of which 110 are inhabited, along with an additional 500 islets.

The two largest islands as shown on the physical map of Fiji are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, which make up 87% of Fiji’s total landmass. These mountainous islands were formed around 150 million years ago through volcanic activity, and are subsequently covered in thick tropical forests.

Most of Fiji’s mountains are dormant or extinct volcanoes. Mount Tomanivi, located on the main island of Viti Levu, is the highest point of Fiji, at an elevation of 4,341ft (1,324m) and the lowest point is the Pacific Ocean (0m). Due to the mountainous terrain of these islands, there are several streams and waterfalls.

Perhaps what Fiji is most famous for, however, are its crystal clear waters, coral reefs, shallow lagoons and white sand beaches that draw in thousands of tourists annually.
