Laysan

Laysan, located 808 nautical miles northwest of Honolulu at 25°42′14″N 171°44′04″W, is one of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It comprises one land mass of 1,016 acres, about 1 by 1+1⁄2 miles in size. It is an atoll of sorts, although the land completely surrounds a shallow central lake some 8 feet above sea level that has a salinity approximately three times greater than the ocean. Laysan's Hawaiian name, Kauō, means egg. ()
