Description: The Midway Atoll rises 1200 miles northwest of Honolulu, 2800 miles west of San Francisco and 2200 miles from Japan. During my stay in July 2001, I explored the lagoons of this remote atoll daily. The crystal-clear water showcases various colors, depending on the sunlight and depth. The view from the lagoon to the green island with the white beach and deep blue sky is unforgettable, radiating a perfect South Sea idyll.
