For many, the South Pacific is synonymous with paradise sun, beaches and of course, the bikini. But the bikini, or rather the island Bikini, also stands for a disastrous series of nuclear tests, carried out by the USA immediately after the Second World War.

Explore a region untouched by human hand for more than 60 years and experience the magic of the South Seas.
