Our Cover

This spearfisherman with his catch, a tiny Parrot fish, in the crystal-clear waters of Nukuoro atoll, in the south east corner of the Ponape district of US Micro nesia, typifies daily life in much of the Pacific Islands. This issue of PIM con centrates on islands travel, but travellers won't find it easy to get to Nukuoro, where the people have a Polynesian background.

The photograph was taken by John H. Harding, an Australian underwater expert.
