(地理)
庫克群島的15個大小島嶼分為南北兩個集團。其中,南集團佔有全國240平方公里的國土中,約90%的面積,包括首都阿瓦魯阿最大島拉羅東加島(Rarotonga Is.)在內的九個島嶼都屬於此集團,大部分都是火山活動造成的島嶼,土壤肥沃、熱帶植被滿佈。至於北集團則大都是距離海平面沒多高、由珊瑚礁構成的低矮環礁,島上植被零星,通常中央會有大型的潟湖。
雖然土地面積狹小,但是由庫克群島周圍所構成的經濟海域範圍,卻多達兩百萬平方公里,因此漁業資源對該群島的經濟佔有非常高比例的重要性。
In the Cook Islands, there are 15 major islands spread over 2.2 million km² of ocean, divided into two distinct groups: the Southern Cook Islands and the Northern Cook Islands of coral atolls. The Southern Cook Islands accounts for 90% of the country territory. The islands were formed by volcanic activity; the northern group is older and consists of six atolls, which are sunken volcanoes topped by coral growth. The climate is moderate to tropical.
