FO/ON4AXU - Marquesas

Gerard ON4AXU send me the QSL via the DARC-bureau. His trip was 2004 around French Polynesia, Austral Islands and Marquesas Islands. Location on Marquesas was the Island Hiva Oa.
Hiva Oa, island beloved to the hearts of Paul Gauguin and of Jacques Brel, is situated 1184 km north-east of Tahiti. A tortuous geological formation endows the island with a wild and untamed atmosphere. Green valleys provide protection to some of the best archaeological sites in the Marquesas where you can see the largest tikis in Polynesia. It is also the most fertile island and considered to be the garden of the Marquesas. Atuona, the main village, nestles below the vertiginous cliffs of Mount Temetiu and Mount Feani.
