(“melanesia” is a sub-region of ‘oceania’ extending from ‘new guinea island’ in the ‘southwestern pacific ocean’ to the ‘arafura sea’, and eastward to ‘fiji’)
.
(the region includes the 4 independent countries of ‘vanuatu’, ‘solomon islands’, ‘fiji’, and ‘papua new guinea’, as well as the french special collectivity of ‘new caledonia’ and the indonesian region of ‘western new guinea’)
(most of the region is in the ‘southern hemisphere’, with a few small northwestern islands of ‘western new guinea’ in the ‘northern hemisphere’)
(the name melanesia (in french mélanésie) was first used by ‘jules dumont d’urville’ in ‘1832’ to denote an ‘ethnic’ + ‘geographical’ grouping of islands whose inhabitants he thought were distinct from those of ‘micronesia’ + ‘polynesia’)
