| As far as [[TIGHAR]] knows, the '''landing channel''' blasted out of the reef by the British around the time that [[abandonment|the colony was abandoned]] is in the same location as a natural channel that had been traditionally used to approach [[Nikumaroro]] from offshore. It is the narrowest part of [[the reef]] and it only makes sense that those who were broadening and deepening the channel would follow the shortest and most natural route to the shoreline.

| Another natural feature of the reef is a so-called "[[boat channel]]" that runs south out of [[Tatiman Passage]] along the village on the ocean shore line. There is a similar channel running north out of the passage along the [[Nutiran]]. These natural channels allow small boats to navigate from the landing channel to the village when the tide is high enough.
