The D’Entrecasteaux Islands, near the southeast coast of the island of New Guinea, consist of Fergusson (Kaluwawa), Goodenough (Morata), Normanby (Duau), and Sanaroa islands, and a number of islets. The islands are mountainous, with extinct volcanoes and hot springs. Coconuts are grown on the islands. The group was named after the French admiral and explorer Bruni d’Entrecasteaux, who explored the islands in the early 1790s.
