Hall Islands

The Hall Islands are a group of two large atolls in the northern part of the state of Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia. In the broader sense, a third and smaller atoll is included.

Nomwin, the western atoll, and Murilo, the eastern one, are located about 9&nbsp;km apart, being the emergent parts of a twin-lobed seamount. Murilo and Nomwin each harbor a population of more than 1,000 people.https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/bitstream/10125/29745/1/vol65n4-497-505.pdf They lie roughly 100&nbsp;km to the north of Chuuk Lagoon. Uninhabited East Fayu, lying 30+ km to the west of Nomwin, is sometimes included in the Halls.https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/bitstream/10125/29745/1/vol65n4-497-505.pdf The three atolls together account for a dry surface of about 3.5 km<sup>2</sup> over more than 50 islets or motus.
