Canton - Local Customs

Mar 06, 2024

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.

Position:

02° 49.03'S, 171° 43.20'W (pass)
