Explore Live Cams in the Marshall Islands

The Marshall Islands is a nation of 29 coral atolls and five low islands spread across about 750,000 square miles (1.9 million km²) of the central Pacific, between Hawaii and Australia. All its land adds up to only about 70 square miles (181 km²), much of it just a few feet above the sea, wrapped around wide turquoise lagoons.

Its best-known natural feature is its atolls, rings of coral islands circling huge lagoons. Kwajalein encloses one of the largest lagoons on Earth, and Bikini Atoll, where nuclear weapons were tested from 1946 to 1958, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose sunken warships have become artificial reefs.

In 2011 the country turned all of its waters into a shark sanctuary, at the time the largest in the world. Reef sharks, manta rays, sea turtles and dolphins live around the atolls, and seabirds such as frigatebirds, terns and boobies nest on the quiet outer islands.

Did You Know? Marshallese navigators once crossed the open ocean using stick charts, maps made from palm ribs and shells that showed how waves bend around islands.
