    Bikar

    Part of Ratak Chain

    Bikar Atoll (Marshallese: Pikaar, [pʲiɡɑːrˠ]) is an uninhabited atoll in the Ratak Chain of the Marshall Islands. It is one of the smallest atolls in the Marshalls. Due to its relative isolation from the main islands in the group, Bikar's flora and fauna has been able to exist in a relatively pristine condition.
