evidence: The North and South Minerva Reefs are two submerged atolls between Tonga and Fiji to the north, and New Zealand to the south. [...] History [edit]Both Tonga and Fiji claim the Minervas. The dispute has yet to be resolved. [...] Flora and fauna [edit]Climate [edit]Get in [edit]The only way to visit them is by boat or seaplane. Both North and South Minerva have wide passes through their reefs allowing entry for deep draft sailboats. However, South Minerva has coral heads in the pass and in the anchorage area as well. The coral heads are not difficult to avoid in good seeing conditions, however in rough seas and squally, cloudy weather it can be dicey. North Minerva's pass and lagoon are both clear of coral heads
