Palmyra Islands

In the first of a two part series, NPR's Alex Chadwick and the rest of the Radio Expeditions team travel to Palmyra, a remote atoll in the central Pacific. After turning down offers made by everyone from developers to the U.S. government, Palmyra's owners have finally sold the property to a preservation group that will leave the pristine environment untouched. Check out our Web feature on this series.
