There are actually two Christmas Islands. One in the Indian Ocean, now belonging to Australia, but over 2000 Km from west coast of Australia, but a few hundred kilometers south of Java / Indonesia. The other Christmas Island is situated in the Pacific Ocean. Belonging to the island nation of Kiribati /Gilbert Islands. But lately adressed by the name Kiritibat. Both islands were discovered by Europeans, actually both were British ships, on Christmas Day. Thats why the namegiving. The Pacific Island has a strange situation: The main village is called London and another village is Paris. both only a few km s apart. But Paris being abandonded as a settlement
