Nukunonu has 24 islets and was named Duke of Clarence Island by Captain Edwards of HMS Pandora in 1791, while he was searching for HMS Bounty mutineers. It's the largest of Tokelau's three atolls and has the largest lagoon; it's traditionally said to be blessed with an abundance of pandanus trees for weaving. The other main feature of note here is the extremely pragmatic village hall - a cargo shed.
