Erikub is a small rectangular-shaped atoll of the central Ratak chain of atolls, lying just south (8 km) from its larger neighbour of Wotje (south is towards the left in the above image).
With 6 islets and a total land area of just 1.53 km², it is one of the smallest of the Marshall Islands atolls in terms of total emergent land area. Its central lagoon covers an area of 230 km².
