Kojjouj (Kechautsu) (9°21'N., 169°55'E.), the SW extremity of the atoll, and Bird Island (9°31'N., 170°01'E.), in the middle of the N side, can be easily identified. Goat Island (9°32'N., 169°53'E.), located on the NW side of the atoll, is reported to be radar prominent from a distance of 18 miles.
