  • Tern Island is a tiny coral island located in the French Frigate Shoals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, at 23°52′12″N 166°17′02″W / 23.870°N 166.284°W, approximately 490 miles (790 kilometers) west north west of Oahu. It has a land area of 105,276 m2 (26.014 acres). The island provides a breeding habitat to 18 species of seabirds, threatened Hawaiian green sea turtles, and endangered Hawaiian monk seals. It is maintained as a field station in the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The island has an airstrip over the length of the island, built in 1942. This has supported use by the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and wildlife services since that time, and various types of operations have been conducted from this location which is host to limited facilities for habitation. The US Fish & Wildlife service closed its field station on the island at the end of 2012. There was a Naval base from 1942 to 1946, a Coast Guard Base from 1952 to 1979, and finally a Fish & Wildlife station from 1979 to 2012. (en)
