Description:
Canton is part of the Phoenix Islands Protected Area and is a former US satellite tracking station. Only a few families live there and only three supply ships call a year.
There are plans to have weekly air service from Tarawa-Canton-Kiritimati starting Summer 2018, and 10 "guest houses" (sleeping platforms with roofs/sides) have been built in anticipation of fly-fishing tourists.
This is one of the islands where climate change is having a severe impact.
