Description
Kwajalein is an atoll located in the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific Ocean. It consists of 97 islands and is one of the largest atolls in the world, covering an area of approximately 2,100 square kilometers. The atoll is part of the larger Kwajalein Atoll and is primarily known for its military installations and as a missile testing site for the United States.
The population of Kwajalein is relatively small, with around 1,000 residents primarily consisting of U.S. military personnel and their families, as well as some Marshallese workers. The community is characterized by a blend of American and local cultures, with various facilities and amenities available for both residents and visitors, including schools, recreational areas, and shops.
Kwajalein is not only significant for its military presence but also for its rich marine biodiversity. The surrounding waters are home to numerous species of fish, coral reefs, and other marine life, making it a popular destination for diving and snorkeling. The atoll also holds historical importance as it was the site of fierce battles during World War II.
