What do you know about Fiji?

I always feel upset recently. I especially want to travel and feel the beauty of nature. I want to go to the island most. A friend said that it would be a good plan to experience Fiji. Then let's see his magic and what it is. In the 17th and 18th centuries, with the great geographical discovery, Europeans began to explore the South Pacific. 1643. Abel? Tasman discovered Fiji on his way back from Tonga to today's West Java Island in Indonesia. Although he didn't sail to viti levu, he found Wanulai Kirishima and Taweiuni Island. He called the Fiji Island Prince William Island.

②1789. William? Captain Bly also landed in Fiji. The famous mutiny of Renai took place here. William? Captain Bly was the first person to investigate and map most of Fiji's islands. This person was an accompanying official of Captain Cook's third Pacific expedition fleet. On April 28th, 1789, he led the ship out of Cook's fleet and sailed through Fiji island chain. On this voyage, he saw more than ten islands in the Lao archipelago. When crossing the Koro Sea from the northwest, he observed Nailai Island, Ngao Island, Muritiki Island, Vasco Var?o Island, Wakoya Island and Koro Island, and almost crashed into the coral reef area in the north of Makongai Island.

While sailing in the Strait, he saw Vanulai Kirishima from the starboard horizon and viti levu from the port side. Then the ship entered the vast sea area in the northern part of the Assawa Islands. Bly recorded the islands he saw, and when he returned to London, he published a map about them. For some time after that, these islands were called "Bly Islands".

However, due to global warming, Fiji is also facing disappearance. At the 29 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, a representative of Fiji shed tears when talking about the Pacific island countries that are in danger of disappearing due to sea level rise. For Fiji's tomorrow, for the home of all mankind, let's join hands to enjoy a truly unforgettable green holiday, where you can really forget everything, feel the paradise on earth, and feel the beauty of nature.
