An earlier answer said: Yes it is. It is Kwajalein Island or Kuwajleen- or Kwajelin-Island , an island among others of the atoll with the same name belonging to Marshall Islands. 8°43' N, 167°44' E.
However I don't think this is correct, for several reasons:
Kuralei is an island where the final battle in James Michener's "Tales of the South Pacific" takes place. Most of the book takes place in the Solomon and New Hebrides Islands. Kwajalein is in the Marshall Islands about 1000 miles to the North East. I don't think men from the area Michener is writting about were moved to fight in Kwajalein. The battle Michener describes on Kuralei is different than than actual battle on Kwajalein. I believe that Kuralei and Konora islands are both fictious creations by Michener. I think they were meant to be somewhere in the Solomons or near by. I am not sure of this though. If anyone knows more, please post it here. Intriguingly, and with the greatest respect to the above comment, the view of Kwajaleen on Google Earth and the orientation of the various components matches Mitchener's description of "Kuralei" perfectly. Even the "small promontory" is visible.
