Scattered over nearly two million square miles in an ocean region largely thought of as the South Pacific, 33 atolls and one island, formerly known as the Gilbert Islands Colony, became the Republic of Kiribati in 1979. Within this vast area lie the Line Islands, a group of mostly atolls, approximately 1,000 miles south of the Hawaiian Islands.
