Necker Island, United States

In the midst of the deep azurian Pacific Ocean is the uninhabited island of Necker - the tourist destination thousands of fans of ecotourism. The length of the crescent island forms about 1,200 meters, and the width - not more than 200 meters. On the isterritorium there are four small hills, the largest of which, Summit Hill, has the height of 84 meters.

The rock island belongs to the Papahānaumokuākea marine conservation area and seems only at first sight to be quite lifeless and uninhabited. Despite the desert view, five plant species grow on the island. Necker is an ideal place for the sea-birds and the rare monkey-flies. The island was discovered in the late 18th century. The island's full-fledged research began in the 20th century. The discoveries of the scientists were simply amazing - thousands of years ago the people on the island have lived, who have left more than thirty religious buildings on them.

During the research the archaeologists have found the rock drawings. In 1988 Necker Island was declared an archaeological district. Among the Hawaiian Islands, Necker is one of the most interesting.
