Большое количество представителей местной флоры и фауны, произрастающей и обитающей на Нгау, являются эндемиками. Почвы имеют вулканическое происхождение и отличаются высоким плодородием. Климат влажный тропический.

История

Европейским первооткрывателем острова считается британский путешественник Уильям Блай, открывший его в 1789 году[4].
