Line Islands

From Wikitravel

Line Islands is a collection of 11 atolls in Micronesia in the central Pacific Ocean. Eight belong to Kiribati and are in the UTC+14 time zone, the easternmost zone currently in use anywhere in the world, making them the first places on Earth to start each new calendar day. The other three (all uninhabited) are U.S. dependencies.
