The Marshall Islands is composed of 1,225 low-lying coral islets with no mountain or river in the Pacific Ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia. These islets are not scattered equally around the ocean. Some islets come together forming a chain of islands, an atoll. The atoll has inland sea (lagoon) surrounded by islets. Twenty-nine coral atolls and five isolated coral islands constitute the Marshall Islands. The total land area amounts to 70 square miles (181 square kilometers), and their exclusive economic zone makes up 750 square miles (2,131,000 square kilometers).
The Marshall Islands is such a tiny water world, and a beautiful tropical world with white sand, emerald green colored ocean and tropical fruits!

Do you want to live in the Marshall Islands?

Why did the first settler decid to live on tiny islets? I will introduce local knowledge living on tiny coral atolls in the Marshall Islands in this blog.
