Palmyra Atoll Research Trip Highlights

In January of 2019, I visited the Palmyra Atoll as part of a research project on the World War 2 construction ruins left there by the Navy. This video shows some of the highlights from that trip and areas of the atoll we were able to explore and study.

Since reading "And The Sea Will Tell", I have wanted to visit Palmyra. Thanks for this.

The background sound is horrendous 😠

[@misterslats]

Are there still lots of rats?

[@wozwas]

Nope, thanks to a massive effort by the Nature Conservancy and US Fish and Wildlife, there haven't been any rats since 2013!

@@wozwas Did you ever get to see it when it was out of control?

Maybe next time you could take a better camera. Looks like 8mm from the sixties.

☹Not much to this little clip. Military research? Not really. Just a little self-promotion by the non-profit currently controlling the place.
