Kiribati is the only country in the world that spans all four hemispheres: north, south, east, and west.
The country's 33 atolls are spread across 3.5 million square kilometers of ocean, an area larger than India, yet its total land area is only 811 square kilometers.
Kiribati feels like the edge of the world, where the ocean stretches endlessly in every direction.
- A traveler on visiting Kiribati
Kiribati is a remote Pacific island nation of 33 coral atolls and one raised coral island scattered across a vast expanse of the central Pacific Ocean. The country is one of the most remote places on Earth, offering pristine, uninhabited islands, spectacular bonefishing, and the WWII battlefield relics of Tarawa. As one of the countries most threatened by rising sea levels, visiting Kiribati offers a poignant glimpse of Pacific Island life and the challenges of climate change.
