Lifou Island is the largest and most heavily populated island of the Loyalty Islands, in the archipelago of New Caledonia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. Irregular in shape, Lifou Island is 81 km (50 mi) long and 16 to 24 km (10 to 15 miles) wide. Lifou is a makatea (raised coral atoll), an ancient lagoon slowly raised by geological processes. Due to the uplift, the island is flat with no hills or rivers, but has abundant vegetation, fertile soils, and terraced cliffs. Since there are no rivers on Lifou, the water comes from rain that seeps through the calcareous soil and forms freshwater ponds. The ancient, uplifted coral has left a multitude of caves, cliffs and sinkholes that are fun to explore. The coastal areas have new reefs around them and there are a number of beautiful beaches.
