6Bikini Atoll, US Marshall Islands
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is hazardous for more than a single reason. Other than nuclear radiations, visitors also have to contend with dangerous sharks. Bikini Atoll has been the site of over 20 nuclear weapons tested between 1946 and 1958. Though these islands were deemed safe by US boffins during the late 90’s, the original residents do not want to return here.
Avoid eating locally grown stuff, and absolutely no chomping on coconuts fallen on the road. There has been no fishing activity here since the past 65 years, which means sea creatures (including sharks) are thriving in the Marshall Islands waters. This along with innumerable shipwrecks in the region draws numerous divers every year.
I really enjoy seeing all these pictures, The people who go there are extremely LUCKY to enjoy there time at the Beautiful places in the World,
Unfortunately my time is running out to Travel, getting old is no novelty, but I can wish still

Best Wishes and Good Luck in your Adventures

Hello!
I totally understand! I did so much traveling with the scouts when I was younger. Things slowed down for me when I took on more responsibilities in life.
Still, don’t think you have to stop traveling completely! I think now it simply takes more planning. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and thanks for reading my stuff!
