At roughly 8km wide, Atafu atoll is the smallest of three atolls comprising the Tokelau Islands in the southern Pacific. The islands - just 2m above the tidal high-water level - suffered significant inundation and erosion during Cyclone Percy in 2005. Vulnerability to tropical cyclones and potential sea level rise make the long-term habitability of the atoll uncertain
