Midway Island, also known as Midway Atoll, is not a city but a remote unincorporated territory of the United States. It is located in the North Pacific Ocean, about halfway between North America and Asia. The island is primarily known for its strategic military history and its important role in the Battle of Midway during World War II. Today, it is primarily managed as a wildlife refuge and is home to a diverse range of seabirds and marine life.
