Mitiʻāro, the fourth island in the Cook Islands group, is of volcanic origin. Standing in water deep it is across at its widest point.
==Geography== left|thumb|Swamp on Mitiaro. Mitiaro, also known as Nukuroa, is part of the Nga-Pu-Toru island group, formerly a volcano that became a coral atoll. The coral died forming fossilised coral (known locally as makatea). The island is surrounded by a belt of this makatea, between high and characteristic of islands in the southern group. The centre of the island is almost flat, quite swampy and contains two freshwater lakes, Rotonui (big lake) and Toto Iti (small lake).
