Live Cams in Northern Mariana Islands
Northern Mariana Islands
The Northern Mariana Islands are a commonwealth of the United States in the western Pacific, a chain of 14 islands stretching north from Guam. Most people live on Saipan, Tinian and Rota, and Saipan was the scene of one of the major battles of the Pacific War in 1944.
The official languages are English, Chamorro and Carolinian, and latte stones, the pillars that once supported Chamorro houses, are a symbol of the islands. In August 1945 the B-29 bombers that dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki took off from North Field on Tinian.
