Kafeŕoor is a "mythical vanishing island"[1] location in Pacific and Polynesian mythology, recorded in the traditional celestial navigation techniques of the Caroline Islands. Part of the Trigger fishes tied together mnemonic-navigational system, it is sometimes grouped with Fanuankuwel as a 'ghost island'.[1][2][3]
