Midway Islands is an atoll in the North Pacific Ocean, located roughly equidistant between North America and Asia, as its name suggests. It is near the northwestern end of the Hawaiian archipelago, about one-third of the way from Honolulu (Hawaii), to Tokyo (Japan). It is an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States, inhabited by 40-60 members of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), which administers the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge.
