Oceania is a vast, arbitrarily
defined expanse of the world
where the Pacific Ocean –
rather than land borders –
connects the nations. It's home
to glistening white beaches,
coconut palms swaying in the
breeze, beautiful coral reefs,
and rugged volcanic islands
rising out of the blue ocean.
Most of Oceania consists of
island nations composed of
thousands of coral atolls and
volcanic islands, with small
human populations. Originally coined by the French explorer Dumont d'Urville in 1831, Oceania has
been traditionally divided into Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia.
As with any
region, however, interpretations vary; increasingly, geographers and scientists
divide Oceania into Near Oceania and Remote Oceania. As an ecozone,
Oceania includes all of Micronesia, Fiji, and all of Polynesia except New Zealand.
New Zealand, along with New Guinea and nearby islands, Australia, the Solomon
Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia, constitute the separate Australasia
ecozone. In geopolitical terms, however, New Zealand, the Solomon Islands,
Vanuatu and New Caledonia are almost always considered part of Oceania, and
Australia and Papua New Guinea are usually considered part of Oceania too.
Oceania is one of eight terrestrial ecozones, which constitute the major
ecological regions of the planet. The Oceania ecozone includes all of Micronesia,
Fiji, and all of Polynesia except New Zealand. New Zealand, along with New
Guinea and nearby islands, Australia, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and New
Caledonia, constitute the separate Australasia ecozone.
