Background
Tahiti-Nui is the larger of two coalescing shield volcanoes forming the island of Tahiti. Much of the original volcano is intact; the central caldera is drained to the north by the Papenoo River. Potassium-Argon dates range from 1.23-0.48 million years ago (Duncan and Mcdougall, 1976).---
