Located in the eastern part of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean, Ifalik Atoll is the easternmost atoll in the Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia, about 720 kilometers from the main island of Yap. The atoll consists of four small islands, with a total land area of only 1.5 square kilometers and a lagoon area of 2.43 square kilometers.
Ifalik Atoll has a typical tropical maritime climate with an average annual temperature of about 28℃. The terrain of the atoll is low and flat, with the highest point not exceeding 3 meters above sea level. The island is covered with dense coconut groves and tropical vegetation, and the surrounding waters are rich in coral reef ecosystems, which are the habitat of sea turtles and a variety of tropical fish.
According to the most recent data, Ifalik Atoll has a resident population of approximately 500 people, who rely mainly on fishing and coconut cultivation for their livelihood. The traditional Micronesian culture is unique and the language is Micronesian. Due to the remoteness of the island, the infrastructure is relatively simple and contact with the outside world is mainly by boat.
Ifalik Atoll attracts a few adventure travelers with its pristine natural beauty and rich marine biodiversity. The unspoiled coral reefs surrounding the atoll offer unique experiences for diving enthusiasts. The local tourism industry is currently in its infancy and remains relatively underdeveloped.
