The images are unforgotten. In 1946, formidable nuclear explosions convulse the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific. The American forces chose this remote location to ignite the first post-Hiroshima atomic bombs. Today, 60 years later, peace has long since returned to the atoll. But just how well was nature able to recuperate on the islands, both above and under water? What do the ships sunk during the tests that now lay on the seabed of the lagoon look like? A hitherto rarely explored natural paradise has evolved. But although the scars of the nuclear past can still be found, during the last 60 years, the Bikini Atoll has developed into an area that can only be considered unique.
