Guide to Marshall Islands
Located between North America and Asia, these 1225 islands and islets are grouped into 29 coral atolls which together make up more than one-tenth of all the world's atolls.
They lie in two parallel chains known as Sunrise and Sunset (Ratak and Ralik) Chains. All the islands have white sandy beaches and are lapped by crystal clear waters. Twenty-seven atolls are accessible by small plane with Majuro, the country's capital, being serviced by Air Marshall Islands, Continental Micronesia. The first two also service the second most populated atoll, Kwajalein.
The Republic of the Marshall Islands was first settled in about 1000 BC by people of Mayo/Polynesian stock. Spanish navigators visited these islands in the 16th century, and in 1788 British sea captain John William Marshall proclaimed them the Marshall Islands.
In the 1800s German traders, missionaries from Boston, Massachusetts and Hawaii, and British and American whalers visited the islands. Japan governed the islands from WWI to WWII. Following WWII, the United States served as an administrator under United Nations Trust Territory created for all Micronesia. The Republic of the Marshall Islands came into being and declared its independence in 1979.
Marshallese is the official language, but English is taught in schools and is widely spoken. The people have a rich oral tradition of chants, songs and legends. Copra (dried coconuts) and a fisheries industry are the foundation of the island's economy. However the government, which is a unique blend of the American and British systems, has given strong support for tourism development and is seeking other economic bases.
Majuro Atoll is the most developed atoll with a population of nearly 30,000. It is the perfect 'home base' while visiting the outer islands. The Marshall's climate is tropical with the average temperature 27˚C and there is less than a 12-degree daily variation with high temperatures cooled by trade winds and frequent rainfalls. Primary leisure activities include world-class scuba diving on wrecks, walls and reefs, snorkelling, sportsfishing, and WWII relic sightseeing. Visitors also enjoy shopping for local handicrafts with an array of beautiful baskets, jewellery and decorations. The islanders are known for their weaving using pandanus leaves, coconut fronds and shells.
