Chuuk, the heart of the Federated States of Micronesia, is located in the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean and consists of a number of atolls and islands, with Vaino, the capital, being one of the federal government's locations. Famous for its World War II fleet base at Truk Lagoon, which is home to nearly 100 ships and aircraft wrecks, the lagoon is known as "the largest undersea museum in the Pacific theater of operations," and is one of the world's top wreck diving destinations. The Chuukese culture preserves traditional seafaring techniques and canoeing, and the fusion of Micronesian and colonial history attracts history buffs and divers alike to explore the legends of its azure depths. As an important cultural landmark in Micronesia, Chuuk's unique natural and human landscapes reveal the mystical charm of the Pacific Islands.
