Ali'ite

Ali'ite is an island in the Solomon Islands; it is the northern one of the Olu Malau (Three Sisters) Islands located in Makira-Ulawa Province. It has an area of 2.91 km².

The first recorded sighting by Europeans of Ali'ite was by the Spanish expedition of Álvaro de Mendaña in May 1568. More precisely the sighting of Ali'ite was due to a local voyage that set out from Guadalcanal in a small boat, in the accounts the brigantine Santiago, commanded by Alférez Hernando Énriquez and having Hernán Gallego as pilot. They charted the three Olu Malau islands as Las Tres Marias ( The Three Marys in Spanish).
