[Line Islands map ]

The Line Islands are a chain of 11 atolls and coral islands in the central pacific ocean, south of the Hawaiian Islands. Of the 11 islands, only the Kiritimati and Tabuaeran atolls and Teraina island have a permanent population. Eight of the islands are part of Kiribati. The remaining three—Kingman Reef, Palmyra Island and Jarvis Island—are United States territories grouped with the United States Minor Outlying Islands.
Copra, “Petfish” and seaweed are the islands' main export products.
