Johnston Atoll: An Isolated and Abandoned Military Air Base in the Mid Pacific Ocean

Quote:
Originally a natural island atop a coral reef about 750 nautical miles west of Hawaii, Johnston Island has been enlarged tremendously over the years by coral dredging.* The result: a semi man-made island providing space for a expansive military base with accommodation for more than 1,000 people at its zenith..........
Between 1958 and 1975, Johnston Atoll was used as a nuclear test site for underground and above-ground nuclear weapons.* Several nuclear test missiles were launched from the atoll during “Operation Dominic” in 1962.* The image above (left) shows the ethereal glow of a high altitude nuclear test.* The second image shows the remains of a rocket engine after a failed test showered Johnston Island with plutonium debris.
