Suwarrow

This atoll has the form of an irregular circle. Its small size (0.4sq.km/.24sq.mi) and few motus are the result of the destruction caused by violent whirlwinds within the last hundred years. The atoll was uninhabited until the mid-1960s, when an Englishman named T Neal settled here and lived as a hermit for more than 10 years. The population has now risen to 10.
