Geography. Nauru (pronounced NAH-oo-roo) is an island in the Pacific just south of the equator, about 2,500 mi (4,023 km) southwest of Honolulu. Phosphate mining has virtually destroyed the tiny nation's ecology, turning its tropical vegetation into a barren, rocky wasteland.
Nauru is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, situated to the south of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific region of Oceania. It is the smallest republic in the world with only 21 square km of total land area. An oval shaped island, it is located 42 km south of the equator.
