"Midway, part of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, is one of the world's most spectacular wildlife experiences. Nearly three million birds call it home for much of each year, including the world's largest population of Laysan Albatrosses, or "gooney birds". Hawaiian monk seals, green sea turtles and spinner dolphins frequent Midway's crystal blue lagoon." Learn more at www.fws.gov/midway.

This is really pretty. Thank you for sharing it. How did you make a trip out there? I heard that it is open to the public in 2011 but visitors need to apply the permit to visit. Would you mind sharing the experience to go there or how to find a tour to go out there? Thanks!
