An atoll in the Pacific Ocean, located slightly north of the equator and at 154°30' east longitude. It belongs to the Federated States of Micronesia. It is home to about 400 people on a land area of about 1.12 km2 consisting of 33 small islands. Although it is geographically part of Micronesia, like the neighboring island of Nukuoro, it is academically recognized as one of the "Polynesian outliers" formed when Polynesians, who had migrated mainly eastward through the South Pacific, re-migrated westward in the 1st millennium AD.

赤道のやや北,東経154゜30′に位置する太平洋上の環礁。ミクロネシア連邦に属する。33の小島から成る1.12km2ほどの陸地部分に約400人が住む。地理的にはミクロネシアに属するが,隣のヌクオロ島と同じく,主として南太平洋を東へと移住していったポリネシア人が再び紀元1千年紀に西方に再移住して形成された〈ポリネシア文化の飛地Polynesian outlier〉のひとつであることが学術的に認められている。
