An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Conway Reef, known since 1976 by its Fijian name Ceva-I-Ra Reef (pronounced [ˈðeβaiˈra]), is a coral reef of the atoll type. It is at 21°44′18″S 174°38′24″E / 21.73833°S 174.64000°E, and it is 2.5 km long in an east–west direction. In the middle of the reef there is a small sand cay, 1.8 meters high, about 320 metres long, and 73 metres wide, with a land area of two hectares. Politically, it is in the Western Division and the Nadroga-Navosa province of the Republic of Fiji. However, geographically, it lies 450 km southwest of the main complex of the Fiji Islands.

  • Útes Conway, (fidžijsky Ceva-I-Ra, IPA [ðe βa i ra]) je tři kilometry dlouhý korálový útes nacházející se na 21,77° jižní šířky a 174,52° východní délky. Jádro útesu tvoří písečný nános 600 metrů dlouhý a 1,5 metrů vysoký. Útes je neobydlený. Objeven byl v roce 1838 britským námořním důstojníkem a kapitánem lodi . Zanesen do map byl o několik let později kapitánem Denhamem z lodi . Na útesu se nachází dva lodní vraky z let 1979 a 1981. V roce 1983 byla na ostrově zaznamenána vegetace, ale již roku 1985 byl opět holý. (cs)
  • Conway Reef, known since 1976 by its Fijian name Ceva-I-Ra Reef (pronounced [ˈðeβaiˈra]), is a coral reef of the atoll type. It is at 21°44′18″S 174°38′24″E / 21.73833°S 174.64000°E, and it is 2.5 km long in an east–west direction. In the middle of the reef there is a small sand cay, 1.8 meters high, about 320 metres long, and 73 metres wide, with a land area of two hectares. Politically, it is in the Western Division and the Nadroga-Navosa province of the Republic of Fiji. However, geographically, it lies 450 km southwest of the main complex of the Fiji Islands. None of the other islands of Fiji are farther away from each other than 75 km (unless you count Rotuma Island, which is politically but not geographically part of Fiji). The closest land to Conway Reef is Hunter Island in the French territory of New Caledonia. It is also claimed by Vanuatu. It lies 275 km to the west-southwest (WSW) of Conway Reef. In 1838, the Royal Navy Captain Drinkwater Bethune of HMS Conway first came across the reef and recorded it; it was first mapped by several years later by a British captain named Denham, commanding HMS Herald. There were a couple of wrecks on the island in the 19th century: The brig Rapid, under Captain Arthur Devlin, ran aground on the reef at 0200 h on 14 January 1841, going at a speed of 7 knots with all its sails up: The crew member on lookout duty may not have been paying attention. And 14 years later, on the night of 26 January 1855, the ship Logan of New Bedford, under Captain Wells, was wrecked on Conway Reef (which he referred to as “Sandy Island Reef”). There have been three recent shipwrecks on the reef (1979, 1981 and 2008), the latest one is the Chinese fishing vessel San Sheng No. 168. The wreck of that ship lies on the northeast end of the reef. The stranded wreck of a coastal trading vessel lies 240 metres south of the centre of the cay. Access to the island should be attempted only at high tide m, and only in a shallow draft tender. Extreme care must be taken to navigate the coral heads. Conway Reef is uninhabited, apart from some birds that appear to have almost no fear of humans. It offers the rare opportunity to experience diving and snorkeling in a virtually untouched underwater environment. In 1983 it was reported that there was some vegetation on the cay. In 1985 it was reportedly bare. But today the cay has some vegetation again, and it's about 3 m high. The island counts as a separate entity for DXCC credit in amateur radio. Several Dxpeditions visited it as 3D2C in September 2012, and 3D2CR in June 2019 and September 2021. (en)
  • Ceva-i-Ra oder Theva-i-Ra, (bis 1976 Conway-Riff bzw. Conway Reef), ist ein atollförmiges Korallenriff 450 km südwestlich der Fidschiinseln. Politisch gehört es zur Republik Fidschi und wird administrativ der Provinz Nadroga-Navosa in der Western Division zugeordnet. (de)
  • Le récif Conway, appelé depuis 1976 de son nom fidjien Ceva-I-Ra ou Theva-i-Ra (prononcé [ˈðeβaiˈra]) est un atoll des Fidji, situé à 450 km au sud-ouest de l'archipel du même nom. Il est long de 2,5 km de l'est à l'ouest. Au milieu du récif se trouve un banc de sable d'1,8 m de hauteur, 320 m de long et 73 de large, pour une superficie d'environ deux hectares. Il est inhabité, mais abrite une importante population d'oiseaux. Du point de vue administratif, Theva-i-Raa relève de la région occidentale et de la province de Nadroga et de Navosa. Il a été découvert en 1838 par le capitaine Drinkwater Bethune, commandant le , et porté sur des cartes britanniques plusieurs années plus tard par le capitaine Denham, commandant le . Trois naufrages se sont produits sur le récif, en 1979, 1981 et 2008. Deux épaves sont encore observables : celle d'un caboteur se trouve à 240 m au sud du centre du banc de sable, et celle d'un bateau de pêche à l'extrémité nord-est du récif. (fr)
  • Ceva-i-Ra o Theva-i-Ra, (nome precedente Scogliera di Conway o meglio Conway Reef), è una barriera corallina a forma di atollo 450 km a sud-ovest delle Isole Figi e politicamente parte della Repubblica delle Isole Figi.. È lunga 2,5 km da est a ovest e larga 1 km e occupa una superficie di circa 2 km², inclusa la laguna e la corona della scogliera. Al centro della barriera si trova una piccola isola sabbiosa, di 320 per 73 m, con una superficie di circa 2 ettari. 240 m a sud dell'isola giace il relitto arenato di una motonave costiera e all'estremità nord-occidentale della scogliera il relitto arenato di un peschereccio. In totale sulla scogliera giacciono tre relitti di navi, dal 1979, 1981 e 2008. L'ultimo relitto fu il peschereccio cinese Shin Sheng No. 165. La scogliera è disabitata, ad eccezione degli , che non mostrano quasi timore degli uomini. Le autorità delle Figi concedono un permesso ai visitatori solo in casi eccezionali, per difendere la scogliera. Dal punto di vista amministrativo la scogliera appartiene alla Divisione Occidentale e alla provincia di Nadroga-Navosa. Nel 1838 il capitano della Royal Navy Drinkwater Bethune della prese nota della scogliera, ma essa fu mappata solo anni dopo dai Britannici, dal capitano Denham della . Nel 1983 fu rilevata sull'isola un po' di vegetazione, ma nulla nel 1985. Attualmente c'è di nuovo un po' di vegetazione, alta circa due metri. La scogliera giace ben 450 km a sud-ovest lontano dalle Isole Figi propriamente dette, che presentano in genere una distanza massima di 75 km tra le isole confinanti (ad eccezione delle Isole Rotuma, che politicamente, ma non geograficamente, appartengono ugualmente alle Isole Figi). Le isole situate più vicino sono le Isole Matthew e Hunter 270 km a ovest-sud-ovest, che politicamente appartengono alla Nuova Caledonia, ma sono rivendicate anche da Vanuatu. I tentativi di approdo sull'isola della scogliera dovrebbero essere intrapresi solo con l'alta marea in navi con poco pescaggio. La navigazione tra le piante di corallo richiede infatti estrema prudenza. (it)
