Niue (/ˈnjuːeɪ/ NEW-ay; Niuean: Niuē) is an island country
in the South Pacific Ocean, 2,400 kilometers (1,500 mi) northeast of New
Zealand, east of Tonga, south of Samoa, and west of the Cook Islands. Niue's
land area is about 261 square kilometers (101 sq. mi) and its population,
predominantly Polynesian, was about 1,600 in 2016. The island is commonly
referred to as "The Rock", which comes from the traditional name
"Rock of Polynesia". Niue is one of the world's largest coral
islands. The terrain of the island has two noticeable levels. The higher level
is made up of a limestone cliff running along the coast, with a plateau in the center
of the island reaching approximately 60 meters (200 feet) high above sea level.
The lower level is a coastal terrace approximately 0.5 km (0.3 miles) wide and
about 25–27 meters (80–90 feet) high, which slopes down and meets the sea in
small cliffs. A coral reef surrounds the island, with the only major break in
the reef being in the central western coast, close to Alofi. A notable feature
are the many limestone caves near the coast.
