Te Afualiku
Te Afualiku is an islet of Funafuti, Tuvalu. It is the smallest island of Tuvalu.[1]
Te Ava Tepuka and Te Avua Sari are two neighbouring passages through Funafuti atoll in the northeast, between the islets of Te Afualiku to the northeast and Tepuka to the southwest.[2]
Te Ava i te Lape is the favoured entrance into the lagoon, although it has a depth of only 5.8 metres (19 ft), and a width of barely 500 metres (1,600 ft). It is in the north, between the islets of Pava to the east and Te Afualiku to the west.[2]
It is currently being digitized in an effort to save Tuvalu from rising sea levels. It is the first island of Tuvalu to be digitized.[3]
