How far across the Pacific Ocean are the islands of French Polynesia spread?

The islands of French Polynesia are spread across a vast expanse of the south-central Pacific Ocean. Comprising approximately 130 islands, the territory is situated between latitudes 7° and 27° S and longitudes 134° and 155° W.1

While the total land area of these islands is relatively small—roughly equivalent to that of metropolitan Paris and London combined—they are dispersed across a massive swath of ocean that is five times the size of France. This collection of five archipelagoes—the Society Islands, Tuamotu Archipelago, Gambier Islands, Marquesas Islands, and Tubuai Islands—covers a significant portion of the South Pacific.1
