High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Nihoa, also known as Bird Island or Moku Manu, is a small island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands located 120 miles (100 nmi; 190 km) northwest of the island of Ni?ihau and 280 miles (240 nmi; 450 km) northwest of Honolulu. Nihoa is 173.234 acres (70.105 ha), surrounded by a 140,554-acre (56,880 ha) coral reef. Captain William Douglas, the second Western explorer to find Nihoa, describes it as "[bearing] the form of a saddle, high at each end, and low in the middle. To the south, it is covered with verdure; but on the north, west, and east sides it is a barren rock, perpendicularly steep..." (Rauzon 8). Its jagged nature gives the island its name, Nihoa, which means "tooth" in the Hawaiian language. Nihoa is the tallest of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, with two peaks, 895-foot (273 m) Miller's Peak in the west, and 852-foot (260 m) Tanager Peak in the east.
