Tepoto Nord is located in the Tuamotu archipalago northernmost. It lies 16 km northwest of Napuka. The island, measuring 2.6 km in length and 800 m across, has no lagoon.

Napuka is a small atoll located in the far north east of the archipelago. It lies south east of its neighbour Tepoto Nord. The atoll is one of the trio of atolls that form the northeastern grouping known as the Disappointement islands. This dishonorable name was given by Ferdinand Magellan. They were not able to discover water though they called at these islands while navigating to the Philippine Islands. PukaPuka located far east is not included in this scenery. This atoll is 7 km in length and 3.5 km wide. There is no pass through the coral reef, but there is an airfield on the islet of Ogoio.
