Bora Bora Island: Bora Bora is an island in
the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an
overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The original name
of the island in the Tahitian language might be better rendered as Pora
Pora, meaning "First Born"; an early transcription found in 18th- and
19th-century accounts, is Bolabolla or Bollabolla. The island, located
about 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a
lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants
of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount
Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 ft).
