Description: Journey to one of the most remote and mysterious specks of land on Earth, a scattering of tiny islets adrift in the equatorial Pacific. This richly detailed guide traces Palmyra Atoll's dramatic geological birth, its lush coconut-choked landscape, and the seabirds, sharks, and coral communities that thrive in its turquoise waters. Along the way, readers explore centuries of human encounter—from Polynesian navigators and disputed sovereignty to a wartime naval outpost and its modern life as a protected wildlife refuge and scientific research station. A concise, evocative portrait of a place few will ever visit but many will find impossible to forget.
