Midway Atoll sits in the North Pacific roughly halfway between North America and Asia, which is precisely how it got its name. It runs at UTC-11, Samoa Standard Time, one of the latest clocks in the world. No daylight saving applies.

the battle that changed the Pacific War

The atoll is best known for the Battle of Midway in June 1942, when US naval forces decisively defeated a Japanese carrier fleet, sinking four Japanese aircraft carriers.[4] The engagement is considered one of the most consequential naval battles in history, fundamentally changing the course of the Pacific War. The battle was fought over four days from June 4 to 7.

Today Midway is a National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Memorial,[3] home to the world’s largest colony of Laysan albatrosses — around 70% of the global population.[5] It is not permanently inhabited in the civilian sense, though it has a small rotating staff. The UTC-11 offset places it in one of the day’s last timezones: when it is noon on Midway, it is 11pm in London.

9am on Midway is 8pm in London during European winter.
