Pingelap is a small atoll in the Pacific Ocean, part of the Federated States of Micronesia. It is located in the eastern part of the country, specifically in the Caroline Islands. The atoll is known for its beautiful landscape, rich marine biodiversity, and a population of about a few hundred inhabitants. Pingelap is particularly notable for a genetic condition called achromatopsia, which leads to color blindness and other vision issues.
