Nice, good job. I second the idea of wikipedia URLs for each.

I went down a rabbit hole about Palmyra Atoll a year ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmyra_Atoll https://www.fws.gov/refuge/palmyra-atoll

Part of the Line Islands.

Scientists did live on it for a period of time and there's photographs of the building structures and an old tractor.

The lagoon is full of sharks.

And in 1974, a couple was murdered on their sailing yacht and they captured the murderer who sailed, docked and repainted the vessel in Hawaii. One of the victims remains were years later discussed on the island which led to the murder trial.

Nice clear dredged entrance from WWII era https://www.google.com/maps/place/Palmyra+Atoll/@5.8756935,-...

Good archival photos from this link https://palmyraarchive.org/

Another cool island, which I discovered when watching episode #89 of SV Delos on Youtube, is Salomon Atoll in the Chagos Archipelago. It is a British Indian Ocean Territory, and near the Diego Garcia military facility run by USGOV.
