WHAT DOES MIDWAY ISLANDS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Midway Islands

Midway Atoll

Midway Atoll is a 2.4-square-mile atoll in the North Pacific Ocean. As its name suggests, Midway is roughly equidistant between North America and Asia, and lies almost halfway around the world longitudinally from Greenwich, UK. It is near the northwestern end of the Hawaiian archipelago, about one-third of the way from Honolulu, Hawaii to Tokyo, Japan. Midway Atoll is an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States, and the former home of the Midway Naval Air Station. For statistical purposes, Midway is grouped as one of the United States Minor Outlying Islands. It is less than 140 nautical miles east of the International Date Line, about 2,800 nautical miles west of San Francisco, and 2,200 nautical miles east of Tokyo. The Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, encompassing 590,991.50 acres of land and water in the surrounding area, is administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Approximately 40 to 60 members of the Service live on the Atoll. Midway was the focal point of the Battle of Midway, one of the most important battles of the Pacific Campaign in World War II.
