What to Know About McKean
Key Facts
McKean is a small, uninhabited coral island that forms part of the Phoenix Islands group in the Republic of Kiribati. Located in the central Pacific Ocean approximately 280 kilometers northwest of Kanton Island, McKean sits within the Phoenix Islands Protected Area, one of the largest marine protected areas in the world. The island itself is quite modest in scale, covering just 0.57 square kilometers (57 hectares) with a maximum elevation of only about 6 meters above sea level. Historically, McKean was notable for its substantial guano deposits, which were commercially mined during the 19th century, though no permanent human settlement has ever been established there. The island's ecosystem supports various seabird colonies and marine life, but it contains no administrative subdivisions or municipalities due to its uninhabited status and small size. For those seeking detailed geographical information about this remote Pacific location, comprehensive data about McKean and other islands in the Phoenix group is available through regional mapping resources.
