A school of fish swims over a coral formation in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. Like a few grains of rice sprinkled on a sea of blue, the French territory in the South Pacific is a paltry 1,359 square miles (3,520 square kilometers) of land scattered over one million square miles (2.6 million square kilometers) of ocean, an area as large as Western Europe.

法属玻利尼西亚的土阿莫土群岛水域里，一群鱼游过一处珊瑚礁。就像是沧海一粟一样，位于南太平洋的法属玻利尼西亚是与西欧大小差不多的，宽达一百万平方英里（260万平方公里）的海洋中零星分布的一小部分约1359平方英里（3520平方公里）的陆地。
