 OCEANIA, the smallest continent, is one of the most diverse
and fascinating areas on the planet.

A large percentage of geography
experts now consider the long-established continent of Australia to be
more accurately defined as Australia/Oceania.

Collectively it then combines all of
Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, as well as the thousands of
coral atolls and volcanic islands of the South Pacific Ocean, including
the Melanesia and Polynesia groups.

Oceania also includes
Micronesia, a widely scattered group of islands that run along the
northern and southern edges of the Equator.
