Its land area totals less than , not higher than 5 metres and surrounding a deep central lagoon, in circumference. It is the second-westernmost atoll of the Ralik Chain, and is located west from Bikini Atoll.

In 1977–1980, a concrete dome was built on Runit Island to deposit radioactive soil and debris.
