Ebeye is the most populous island of Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, as well as the center for Marshallese culture in the Ralik Chain of the archipelago. Settled on only 80 acres (360,000 m²) of land, it has a population of more than 12,000. With crowded living conditions, an inadequate school system, and scarce clean water, Ebeye has been known by the unofficial and unfortunate title of "Slum of the Pacific."
It's pretty dirty. We walked around the whole island and then got on the boat and went back home. We got to experience a third world country in a few hours and then go home. It's the best of both worlds.
Here are some shots from the trip:
