Figure 3.11:  Wake Island atoll in the central Pacific Ocean is located 4,000 km west-southwest of Hawaii. The central blue lagoon area is approximately the outline of the now submerged crater of the volcano around which the atoll developed. Note the aircraft landing strips and other structures that are maintained by the U.S. Department of the Interior for U.S. Air Force and Army operations in this remote Pacific location.
