Million Dollar Point - Luganville, Espiritu Santu, Vanuatu

Million Dollar Point in Vanuatu was the dumping site of a tremendous amount of American jeeps, trucks, bulldozers, and various other machinery that were deemed more cost effective to dispose of rather than transport.  The local people, unable to comprehend the reason behind such senseless and selfish waste, thought that the soldiers had gone mad as they drove the vehicles off a makeshift wharf into the sea.

second world war left behind it a colossal array of shipwrecks in the Pacific islands.  These images were taken on brief visits to numerous obscure, locally recommended sites around the Pacific islands; there remain scores of wrecks still undiscovered in these waters.
