Three Beautiful Uninhabited Atolls

Filippo Reef
Less than a mile long, this is the only island in the Line Island Group that hasn't ever been claimed by the USA. There is some speculation that this may be a Phantom Island, due to the lack of recent sightings. Filippo Reef is part of the Central Line Island.


Palmyra Atoll and Kingman Reef
These atolls are uninhabited, US territories. They are part of the Northern Line Islands. We found many beautiful pictures of Palmyra on Google Earth. You can also visit the following sites:
