U.S. Nuclear Testing in the Marshall Islands and Bikini Atoll

Open C, we're about 10 miles away. Five seconds, four,

three, two, one.

From 1946 to 1958, the United States

detonated dozens of atomic bombs in the Marshall Islands.

And while Enewetak is hardly known, its closest neighbor

300 kilometers to the east became synonymous with nuclear

fallout. Its name is Bikini.

On Bikini Island, over three miles from the point of burst.

On the water, you can see the shockwave coming toward

the camera.

Watch those palm trees in the foreground.
