About Micronesia

The Federated States of Micronesia is a scattered island nation in the western Pacific comprising four states: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. Chuuk Lagoon is one of the world's premier wreck-diving destinations, with over 60 Japanese WWII ships and aircraft lying in its warm waters. Pohnpei's Nan Madol, an ancient city of stone built on artificial islands, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Pacific's most mysterious archaeological wonders.
