About Christmas Island
Just a few miles north of the Equator lies Christmas Island. One of 33 low-lying coral islands in the Republic of Kiribati (pronounced Kiribas), residents of this region can be counted in the low tens of thousands, far outnumbered by the huge population of exotic wild birds on Christmas Island alone.
The entrance to the island harbour is protected by two deserted promontories called London and Paris, while the other side of the island faces the evocatively named Bay of Wrecks. Once ashore, enjoy a number of lovely beaches and spot countless types of bird life, including the Christmas Island Warbler, found only on this island.
