Sunrise is the best feeling. But imagine, if you are at a place where the first rays of the sun are coming on the earth, then perhaps the thought of Japan is coming in your mind, which we have been considering as the land of the rising sun. But no, now the location has changed. We are talking about Kiribati, a country located in the Pacific Ocean. Amidst the debate regarding Maldives-Lakshadweep, let us know about this beautiful place…
Kiribati is also known as Caroline Islands. This is the place where the first rays of the sun arrive every day. First of all, the sun’s rays kiss the earth at this place. This is the reason why it is the first place in the morning. Watching the sunrise here is a memorable experience. For those who do not know, let us tell you that Kiribati also has the oldest time zone on earth.

there is no real sunrise or sunset
We know that in reality there is no real sunrise or sunset. This is because the Earth is round and is constantly rotating. Due to this, sunset or night occurs where the sun’s rays come, and the part which goes back due to the rotation of the Earth. But to make our lives easier, an imaginary line has been drawn, which is called International Date Line. This decides where the day is considered to end and where it begins. This line passes around the Millennium Island of Kiribati, so we get the ‘first’ sunrise.
an archipelago made up of 33 islands
Now let’s talk about Kiribati. It is an archipelago made up of 33 atolls and reef islands. One of these is the uninhabited Millennium Island. It is considered one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Only the lucky ones can go here and enjoy the magical experience of sunrise. Every year thousands of people try to go here. But only a few are lucky who are able to reach.
