The Hall Islands of Chuuk State

The Hall Islands are a group of two large atolls, Nomwin and Murilo, roughly 100 kilometres to the north of Chuuk Lagoon. Both atolls have two inhabited islands: Nomwin and Fananu in Nomwin atoll, Murilo and Ruo in Murilo atoll. Each has about 1000 inhabitants. The total land surface is about 3.5 km² and this includes uninhabited East Fayu that lies a little over 30 kilometres west of Nomwin. The islands are serviced by a supply ship from Weno.
