Palmyra Atoll, aerial photograph
Aerial photograph of the eastern end of Palmyra Atoll showing the North-South causeway out towards Barren Island. Breaks in the causeways and islands are allowing fresh seawater in to refresh the once stagnant and destroyed inner lagoon after US construction works during World War 2. The island's runway can be seen at bottom., by RICHARD BROOKS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
