Alofi Island

Alofi is an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean belonging to the French overseas collectivity of Wallis and Futuna. Alofi was inhabited until 1840. The highest point on the island is Kolofau. The 3,500 ha island is separated from the larger neighbouring island of Futuna by a 1.7 km channel. Alofi has been recognised as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International for its red-footed booby colony and the vulnerable shy ground dove, as well as for various restricted-range bird species.
