The Hall Islands are a group of two large atolls in the northern part of the state of Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia.[1] In the broader sense, a third and smaller atoll is included.
Nomwin, the western atoll,[2] and Murilo, the eastern one,[3] are located about 9 km apart, being the emergent parts of a twin-lobed seamount. Murilo and Nomwin each harbor a population of more than 1,000 people.[1] They lie roughly 100 km to the north of Chuuk Lagoon. Uninhabited East Fayu, lying 30+ km to the west of Nomwin, is sometimes included in the Halls.[2] The three atolls together account for a dry surface of about 3.5 km2 over more than 50 islets or motus.[4]
