Overview
Fenua Tapu is an islet of Nui atoll in the Pacific Ocean state of Tuvalu. It is the most southern and most eastern islet of Nui and is the largest (area 1.38 km2).
Most Nuians live on the western end of Fenua Tapu, where a village including the settlements of Alamoni - Maiaki and Manutalake - Meang (Tanrake) lies. A Dutch expedition (the frigate Maria Reigersberg) found Nui on the morning of June 14, 1825 and named Fenua Tapu as Nederlandsch Eiland.
