Travel to the US Minor Outlying Islands

The United States Minor Outlying Islands are a group of remote islands and atolls scattered across the Pacific and the Caribbean, with no permanent population. Most are national wildlife refuges within vast marine national monuments, protecting seabirds, turtles and some of the most pristine coral reefs on earth.

Midway Atoll, site of a decisive Second World War battle, and Wake Island host only staff and military personnel, while Palmyra Atoll serves research. Access requires special permits, and regular tourism is not possible.
