Mike N6MZ/ZK1XMZ juggling coconuts at the beach on the lagoon side of the island (about 100m from the Battle Creek Special). Notice the house on stilts in the lagoon - the water is only about 2 feet deep at that point. When the water turns dark blue (in the background), the depth increases dramatically. Penrhyn is the remnant of the prehistoric explosion of a huge volcano. It has the largest lagoon of any of the Cook Islands.
