About Islands in Federated States of Micronesian
The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) consists of more than 600 islands scattered across the western Pacific Ocean and includes four states: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. These islands vary greatly in geological formations, including high volcanic islands and low-lying coral atolls.
Yap is a cluster of four main islands known for their stone money and traditional seafaring.
Chuuk is a large lagoon surrounded by a barrier reef with many islands and is famous for its World War II shipwrecks that attract divers from around the world.
Pohnpei, the largest and most populous island, is characterized by its mountainous terrain and lush rainforests.
Kosrae, the easternmost state, is known for its unspoiled nature and ancient ruins.
The FSM islands support diverse ecosystems and cultural traditions, contributing to the region's unique identity in the Pacific.
