Midway Atoll (Yellowstone: 1936)

Midway Atoll (alternatively called Midway Island or Midway Islands) is a 2.4-square-mile (6.2 km2) atoll in the North Pacific Ocean. Its name is derived from the fact that the atoll is situated equidistantly between Asia and North America, as well as being halfway around the Greenwich Meridian in the United Kingdom. Prior to the Yellowstone Eruption of 1936, it formerly served as an air field and a naval station for American forces in the Pacific as part of the American Pacific-Asiatic Zone. The decisive Battle of Midway was fought near the islands.
