Gugeegue

Guegeegue Island is an island located in the Kwajalein Atoll of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.[1] It is connected by causeway to Ebeye Island, the second most populated island in the nation, and is the northernmost island so connected.

The island is also known as Gugegwe (/ˈɡuːdʒiɡuː/ GOO-jee-goo; Marshallese: Kōn̄e-jekāān-eņ, [kɤŋɤ͡ee̯-zʲɛ͡ʌɡɑ͡æːnʲ-ɛ̯ɛ͡ʌɳˠ]).[2]

Gugeegue is just south of the Bigej Pass, which separates it from Bigej islet. [3][4]
