		Caroline Island or Caroline Atoll (also known as Millennium Island), located at 10°00′S 150°25′W, is the easternmost of the uninhabited coral atolls which comprise the the southern Line Islands in the central Pacific Ocean.
		Caroline Island lies near the southeastern end of the Line Islands, a string of atolls extending across the equator some 1500 km (900 miles) south of the Hawaiian Islands in the central Pacific.
		Caroline Island is heavily vegetated, and most islets possess three ringed zones of vegetation: an outermost herb mat, typically comprised largely of Heliotropium anomalum; an inward zone of shrub, primarily Tournefortia argentea; and a central forested region, typically dominated by groves of Pisonia grandis trees.

	Atoll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An atoll is a type of low, coral island found in tropical oceans and consisting of a coral-algal reef surrounding a central depression.
		The next southerly atoll is Ducie Island in the Pitcairn Islands Group, at 24°40' S. Bermuda is sometimes claimed as the "northernmost atoll" at a latitude of 32°24' N. At this latitude coral reefs would not develop without the warming waters of the Gulf Stream.
		The remains of an ancient atoll as a hill in a limestone area is called a reef knoll.
