United States Minor Outlying Islands

Overview

The US Minor Outlying Islands are Navassa in the Caribbean and Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Atoll, Palmyra Atoll, Wake Island in the Pacific Ocean. They are at present uninhabited and it would be unlikely that trips, which are not only difficult, but probably also will only have scientific or strategic benefit, should be made.
