Cocos (Keeling) Islands: Direction Island, an uninhabited coral islet, spans approximately 0.5 square kilometers and features a sheltered lagoon anchorage suitable for yachts, with its flat terrain dominated by coconut palms and fringing reefs supporting diverse marine life. Discovered in 1609 by British captain William Keeling, the island saw its first European settlement in 1826 when Alexander Hare established a short-lived outpost with Malay laborers, predating the more enduring Clunies-Ross dynasty on nearby Home Island. In 1897, the Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph Company constructed a submarine cable station on Direction Island, linking it to global networks via Mauritius, Rodrigues, and Perth until operations ceased in 1966, underscoring its early 20th-century role in telecommunications. The site gained wartime notoriety on November 9, 1914, during World War I, when a landing party from the German cruiser SMS Emden briefly captured and sabotaged the station before being intercepted by the Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney in the Battle of Cocos, marking a significant early naval victory for the Allies. Today, Direction Island serves primarily as a day-trip destination accessible by inter-island ferry from West Island, renowned for its pristine Cossies Beach—voted Australia's most beautiful in 2017—and opportunities for snorkeling and birdwatching within the UNESCO-listed Pulu Keeling National Park.

Rota is one of the lesser known islands of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Mariana Islands are on the edge of the Philippine Plate. They were formed by underwater volcanoes along the Marianas Trench. The northern islands are high volcanic islands and the southern islands, while volcanic in origin, are capped by uplifted limestone derived from coral reefs. The southern islands have the oldest and most developed reefs which are predominantly located along the western (leeward) sides.
