Summary

Description
English: The islets of Millennium Island are readily visible in this astronaut photograph as irregular green vegetated areas surrounding the inner lagoon. The shallow lagoon waters are a lighter blue than the deeper surrounding ocean water; tan linear “fingers” within the lagoon are the tops of corals. The two largest islets are Nake Islet and South Islet, located at the north and south ends of Millennium Island respectively.
Français : Vue satellite de l'île du Millénaire dans les Kiribati, où l'on peut distinguer ses différents îlots, son lagon intérieur où des couleurs plus claires indiquent une profondeur plus faible ainsi que sa végétation dense sur certains îlots.
