Pulusuk or Houk Island is a village and municipality in the state of Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia.[1]
It is a small island that lies at the end of a 55 km (34 mi) long submerged atoll. Pulusuk is part of the Pattiw group, located 244 km (152 mi) to the west of Chuuk.[2]
The first recorded sighting by Europeans was by Spanish naval officer Juan Antonio de Ibargoitia commanding the vessel Filipino in 1799. He charted it as Bartolomé.[3][4][5]
Name
The name of the island goes back to Proto-Chuukic *t'ouka or *t'ouke.[6]
