The islands of Bikini Atoll. This shows why we lived on one island (Bikini) and the aitrstrip is on another (Enyu)

The "terminal" at Bikini Airport

The control tower at Majuro "International" Airport.

The inside of the small plane. Note the condensation fog towards the floor.

The military base on Kwajelin. Used as a stopover and refueling point

Welcome to Bikini Atoll (the airstrip is on a different island than "Bikini")

My room on Bikini

The view from outside my room. Bikini is about 2 miles long by 1/2 mile wide. There were about 30 people total on the island.

My room was one of 4 rooms in this building

The main building on Bikini

Main Street Bikini

The room where dive briefings are held

In Micronesia it is customary to bury your ancestors in the front yard of your house.

A bunker on Enyu used to hold photographic equipment during the atomic tests in 1946
