Little Barrier Island or Hauturu (officially Te Hauturu-o-Toi) lies off the northeastern coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is 80 kilometres (50 mi) to the north of Auckland. The island is separated from the mainland to the west by Jellicoe Channel, and from the larger Great Barrier Island to the east by Cradock Channel. The two aptly named islands shelter the Hauraki Gulf from many of the storms of the Pacific Ocean. It is a nature sanctuary, and has been described as "the most intact [native] ecosystem in New Zealand". The Māori name means "the resting place of lingering breezes". Along with its larger neighbour Great Barrier, it was given its English name by Captain James Cook on 23 November 1769. |
