Rongelap Atoll
Rongelap is a low coral atoll in the northern Ralik chain of the Marshall Islands. Its islands and lagoon formed part of a seafaring world in which Marshallese navigators travelled between distant atolls. In 1825 Otto von Kotzebue sighted Rongelap from the Predpriaty and named it for the Russian naval officer Rimsky-Korsakov.
