Polynesia means 'many islands'. The land area is small, but the islands account for almost half of the Pacific Ocean, including Elise, Tonga, Samoa, Tokelau, Phoenix Islands, Cookline Islands in the central part, Tubuai, Societe, Tuamotu, Marquis Islands, Hawaiian Islands in the north, Saligomes Islands at the southeast, and New Zealand Islands in the southwest.
This is a heaven for travelers who want to experience the beauty and mystery of nature and is very popular as a place where they can leave romantic memories of newlyweds.
Most of Polynesia's low islands are coral reefs, and most of the high islands are said to be new basalt volcanoes. Polynesia generally maintains a uniform climate, and it is said that it belongs to the influence of the southeast trade wind, so there is a lot of precipitation in the wind of high islands, so the forest is lush, and the precipitation is low in the wind shade. In addition, it is said that there are many islands in an environment where it is difficult for people to live because there is little precipitation on the wind shade side.
Polynesians are said to form a single race. In general, both men and women are tall (167-175cm) and have a healthy physique, and their skin is light brown and their hair is said to have straight or tetragonal hair. It is said that the intellectual level is the best in Oceania. In the western part of Polynesia, that is, Tonga and Samoa, mixed blood with Merannesians is quite prominent, but it is said that the purity as a Polynesian is high as it moves to the eastern part. It is said that Polynesians moved from Asaa in the centuries B.C. and distributed throughout Polynesia in the following centuries.
