Tarawa, Kiribati's capital and largest city, is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and consists of 33 coral islands, making it the only country in the world that straddles both the northern and southern hemispheres, as well as the eastern and western hemispheres. As the administrative center, Tarawa is densely populated and is the political, economic and cultural heart of Kiribati. The atoll city is known for its unique coral landscapes and World War II historical sites, as well as the threat of rising sea levels, one of the focal points of global climate change concerns. The local culture is a blend of Micronesian and Polynesian traditions, with fishing and copra as the mainstays of the economy, demonstrating the rawness and resilience of the South Pacific islands.
