Map of Tenarunga Atoll

Tenarunga or Tenania, formerly Minto Island, 15 km NNW of Matureivavao, is a low, wooded and uninhabited atoll in the Acteon Group in the southeastern part of the Tuamotu Islands. There are some buildings and a dock located on the north-east side of the island, indicating former and/or seasonal habitation.

The atoll's lagoon is not accessible from the sea.

[edit] Administration

Administratively Tenarunga, like the rest of the Acteon Group, belongs to the municipality of the Gambier Islands.
