With its depencies – the Isle of Pines, the Loyalty, Chesterfield and Huon Islands – New Caledonia covers 7,335 square miles. It was Captain Cook, that avid Pacific tourist, who called this South Sea island New Caledonia when on it in 1774. But, in fact, its resemblance to its rugged Scottish namesake is in name only Encircled by a coral reef, the second largest in the world, and fanned by warm trade winds that give the air a special luminosity, this sunny island is also known as L’Ile de Lumiere, or Island of Light. New Caledonia has an ideal climate, long white beaches, fascinating marine life, unusual birds such as the flightless cagou, which barks, giant fern forests, purple bougainvillea, and some of the biggest nickel mines in the world.
