Malden & Jarvis Islands

Welcome!
Malden Island is a 15 sq mile uninhabited atoll, part of the Line Islands belonging to Kiribati. The island is mainly known for it's mysterious ruins. These stone structures are located along the shoreline and include house sites, temple platforms and graves. We have searched in vain online for photos of Malden Island to share with you but couldn't find any. However, you can read more about the ruins and the different views concerning them at
