abstract
  • Clipperton Island (French: Île de Clipperton or Île de la Passion) is a minor 9 sq km (3.5 sq mi) coral atoll in the eastern Pacific Ocean, south-west of Mexico, west of Costa Rica and 2420 km north-west of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, at 10°18′N 109°13′W. It is an overseas possession of France, a part of the French territory of French Polynesia, and a part of the Republic of the French Southern Territories. The island is largely barren and of low elevation, covered lightly in scattered grasses and a few groves of coconut palms. Clipperton Rock, a small volcanic outcrop rising to 29 m (95 ft) resides on its south-east side. Before Doomsday the atoll has been occupied at various times by miners, settlers and military personnel, mostly from Mexico, which claimed it until international arbitration awarded it to France in 1931. After 1945 it ceased to have any permanent residents, occasionaly being visited by fishermen, French Navy patrols, scientific researchers, film crews, and shipwreck survivors. It was also a popular site for transmissions by ham radio operators.
