![View of the Midway Atoll taken during ISS Expedition 2
Midway was formed roughly 28 million years ago when the seabed underneath it was over the same hotspot from which the Island of Hawaii is now being formed. Midway was once a shield volcano, perhaps as large as the island of Lanai. As the volcano piled up, lava flows built the island, its weight depressed the crust, and the island slowly subsided for millions of years, a process known as isostatic adjustment.
As the island subsided, a coral reef around the former volcanic island could maintain itself near sea level by growing upwards. That reef is now over 516 ft (157 m) thick[13] (in the lagoon, 1,261 ft (384 m), composed mostly of post-Miocene limestones with a layer of upper Miocene (Tertiary g) sediments and lower Miocene (Tertiary e) limestones at the bottom overlying the basalts). What remains today is a shallow water atoll about 6 mi (9.7 km) across. Following Kure Atoll, Midway is the 2nd most northerly atoll in the world.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sit6iw4blblomxysee42qzfq/bafkreifbpeossaorsffeimsiyfdg3gqwungbzf2rjtqdkqpnjjosvau7re@jpeg)

MICHAEL: Maybe so, but it occurred to me the soldiers are paid to fight; the rebels aren't.
ROTH: What does that tell you?

ROTH: You all know Michael Corleone & we all remember his father. At the time of my retirement or death I turn over all my interests in the Havana operation to his control. But all of you will share. The National will go to the Lakeville Road boys. The Capri to the Corleone Family.

ROTH: This kind of Government knows how to help business, to encourage it. The hotels here are bigger & swankier than any of the rug joints we've put in Vegas. What I am saying now is we have what we have always needed, real partnership with the government.

The startling footage we're about to show you was shot by Romero Valadares. This video was taken yesterday afternoon at his son's 7th birthday in Passo Fundo, Brazil. It was sent to the local news bureau there and satellited to us a few minutes ago. All initial opinions are; this is genuine.
