Kure Atoll makes National News
Just over a week ago, the 4-person crew working on Kure Atoll returned from their isolated stay. Every time a crew ventures out to the atoll, the world seems to change slightly upon their return. This time, a pandemic erupted across the globe, touching every nation and settlement. Except Kure Atoll. This year’s summer crew, which left in March and only now has returned at the beginning of November, were severed from a world battling the COVID-19 outbreak.
