ABOUT WOLEAI ATOLL
Woleai Atoll consists of 22 islands and is roughly 7 miles wide and 4 miles long. The total land area of the atoll is 1.7 square miles, supporting 1,080 people. Most of the inhabitants live on the southern coast of the largest island, called Falalap or Woleai. Among the Micronesian islands, Woleai is culturally unique--it is the only island that developed its own written language. In 1913, the native script was found to be in use among some speakers of the Woleaian language. The nearest atolls include Ifalik, 35 miles to the southeast, and Eauripik, 67 miles to the southwest.
