The maps that accompany this post will show you where Tern Island is located in the Hawaiian chain and the larger scale view of French Frigate Shoals will show the immediate area around Tern Island. The Hawaiian Island chain is approximately 1,700 miles from Kure Atoll on the north to Hawaii on the south. Tern Island is just about in the middle of the chain and is about 500 miles northwest of Kauai. It is the edge of the planet for lack of a better term. From Tern Island it is nearly 500 miles in any direction to the nearest permanent human settlement.
