Bikar Atoll, Reef and atoll in the Ratak Chain, Marshall Islands
The diamond-shaped Bikar Atoll extends 13 kilometers in length and 8 kilometers in width, featuring six islets surrounded by a continuous reef system.
The German Empire annexed Bikar Atoll in 1885, transferring property rights to the Jaluit Gesellschaft during their expansion in the Marshall Islands.
The atoll stands as one of two remaining unaltered semi-arid atoll ecosystems on Earth, supporting 23 species of nesting seabirds and green turtles.
The narrow western pass through the reef provides the only access point to the lagoon, which covers an area of 37.4 square kilometers.
Bikar Atoll reaches a maximum elevation of 6 meters above sea level and receives less than 45 inches of rainfall annually between July and October.
