Polynesian Triangle

The Polynesian Triangle is a vast region in the central Pacific Ocean, defined by three points: Hawaii, Easter Island (Rapa Nui), and New Zealand (Aotearoa). This triangle covers an area of about 10 million square miles and is significant for the Polynesian people, who navigated and settled these islands using traditional methods like star navigation. The triangle symbolizes the cultural and linguistic connections among the islands and highlights the impressive seafaring skills of Polynesian ancestors, who traveled long distances across open water to establish communities in this predominantly oceanic area.
