Rongerik Atoll, Pacific atoll in Ralik Chain, Marshall Islands.
The coral atoll encompasses 61 islands with a total land area of 1.68 square kilometers and a lagoon spanning 144 square kilometers.
Spanish navigator Alvaro de Saavedra first documented the atoll in 1528, leading to European awareness of this Pacific territory.
The atoll maintains connections with the Rongelap community, reflecting traditional Marshall Islands maritime navigation and settlement patterns.
The atoll reaches an elevation of 3 meters above sea level and remains uninhabited, with limited infrastructure for visitors or researchers.
Nuclear testing in 1954 led to the evacuation of temporary residents, transforming the atoll into an environmental monitoring location.
