Three Kings Islands

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Three King's Islands is a group of islands about 55 kilometres (34 mi) northwest of New Zealand's North Island. In current times, they are recorded to be uninhabited. Discovered first in 1643, these volcanic-formed landmasses are a nature reserve today. Now, it serves mainly as a fishing resort for avid anglers about the globe. Fishing trawlers are not permitted to land upon the islands themselves, as the wildlife living there are protected. Fish around the islands can be as large as Great Whites and make great catches for local sailors. The Three Kings were titled due to their European explorers' arrival on the eve of the Epiphany. They are among the least known islands that are currently known to man itself.
