Northern Atolls Map  Book your Holiday with the Specialists  Beautiful Cook Islands Resorts Northern Atolls Travel Guide The remote Northern Group of islands comprise of six huge lagoons surrounded by tiny flat islands, each one remote from any other island. Manihiki, 750 miles north of Rarotonga, supports the largest population in the Northern Group with around 1000 people and is the centre for black pearl farming. Penryn, in the far north, is the largest atoll, being seven miles wide and fifteen long. It too has some amenities and an excellent harbour making it popular for passing yachts. Suwarrow was uninhabited until Tom Neale obtained permission from the government to live there in 1952. For 15 of the next 25 years of his life, Neale survived alone and his book An Island to Oneself, was published in 1966. Pukupuka and Rakahanga are also lagoon islands with air strips and only Nassau is a small sand bank with a treacherous reef with no passage and no lagoon. Palmerston is theoretically part of the Southern Group but it is 310 miles to the north of Rarotonga. It was settled by Englishman William Marsters in 1863 and its population of 50 are all descendants from him and his three Polynesian wives. Olde English is still spoken on the island.
