At less than 150 miles east of the International Dateline, Midway Atoll is truly "midway" around the world from the Greenwich meridian. The atoll lies about 2,800 miles west of San Francisco and 2,200 miles east of Japan. It is situated near the northwestern end of the Hawaiian Islands archipelago.
