Wotje Atoll
Wotje is a coral atoll in the Ratak chain, its islets enclosing a broad lagoon in the eastern Marshall Islands. Marshallese communities navigated among the atolls by canoe and maintained relationships with chiefs across the chain. In 1817 Otto von Kotzebue spent a month at Wotje, exchanging gifts and learning from islanders; he returned in 1824.
