GeoFact of the Day | The Atolls of Marshall Islands

The MARSHALL ISLANDS, a vast country east of the Federated States of Micronesia in the North Pacific Ocean, have islands like Kili and Mejit. However, there are many more atolls than regular islands. Even Kili Island is part of an atoll. The capital, Majuro, is located on Majuro atoll. Several of the many atolls that the Marshall Islands claim include Ailinginae, Ailinglaplap (great name!), Ailuk, Jaluit, Maleolap, Utrik, and Wotho.
