Ebon Atoll

Ebon Atoll (Marshallese: Epoon, broadly /ɦʲɜpʲɜɦˠʷɜnʲ/ or narrowly ) is a coral atoll of 22 islands in the Pacific Ocean, and forms a legislative district of the Ralik Chain of the Marshall Islands. Its total land area is only 5.75 square kilometres (2.22 sq mi), but it encloses a deep lagoon with an area of 104 square kilometres (40 sq mi). A passage leads to the lagoon from the southwest edge of the atoll. The winding passage is called "Ebon Channel". Ebon Atoll is located approximately 155 kilometres (96 mi) south of Jaluit, and is the southern most landmass of the Marshall Islands as it is on the southern extremity of the Ralik Chain.
