There are many islands and most known as atolls ... I was on an atoll in the far north west of the cooks and the atoll had two main islands and about a dozen little that completed a kind of circular ring and inlets of water like channels but small for tidal flow going in and out of middle where is known as the lagoon. The lagoon I was in was about 2km from one point straight across to other end. So I gather alot of them are atolls.
