Wake Island

Wake Island is an atoll in the western central Pacific Ocean, strategically located between Guam and Hawaii. As an unincorporated territory of the United States, it is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of the Interior, but the actual operation is under the responsibility of the U.S. Air Force, and is considered a key U.S. military outpost overseas. The island is relatively small, with a land area of about 7.4 square kilometers and an atoll surrounded by a lagoon with a natural harbor. Historically, Wake Island is known for the "Battle of Wake Island" during World War II, when it was attacked by the Japanese in 1941, and the U.S. Army put up a strong resistance before recovering it in 1945. Today, the island has no permanent residents, only a small rotating military presence, an airport and military installations, is an important stopover on the trans-Pacific route, and is of environmental concern because of its unique ecosystem and coral reef environment.
