Bokak Atoll (Bokak Atoll)
Bokak Atoll (Marshallese: Bokaak or Bok-ak, ) or Taongi Atoll is an uninhabited coral atoll in the Ratak Chain of the Marshall Islands, in the North Pacific Ocean. Due to its relative isolation from the main islands in the group, Bokak's flora and fauna has been able to exist in a pristine condition.
It is located 685 km north of Majuro Atoll, the capital of the Marshall Islands, and 280 km northeast of Bikar Atoll, the closest atoll, making it the most northerly and most isolated atoll of the country. Wake Island is 348 mi north-northwest. The land area is 3.2 km2, and the lagoon measures 78 km2. It consists of 36 islets. The total area is 129 km2 (including reef flat).
