Eka is an atoll island of the Republic of Kiribati, located in the central Pacific Ocean, the country consists of 33 coral atolls and islands straddling the Equator and the International Date Line. As part of Kiribati, Eka is characterized by its low-elevation coral landscapes and the ecological richness of the surrounding waters, which are important for local fishing and coconut cultivation. As sea levels rise due to global climate change, islands such as Eka face the threat of shrinking land areas, which is one of the key reasons why Kiribati has been an active advocate for international climate cooperation in recent years. As a Pacific island nation, Eka has retained its pristine natural landscape and unique Kiribati culture, attracting travelers interested in ecological and cultural exploration.
