Marakei
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marakei is a small atoll in the North Gilbert Islands. The central lagoon consists of numerous deep basins and surrounded by two large islands which are separated by two narrow channels. The atoll covers an area of 13.5 km².
The two narrow channels, which are inaccessible at low tide, are called Baretoa Pass and Reweta Pass.
