Drove an hour from Svolvær to get there. There were a million people and it was very underwhelming, unfortunately!

Eniwetok Island. I was there in 1979 or thereabouts. We were there for nuke testing "clean-up", whatever that means.

Sorry, I disagree.

As long as we're looking at atolls. This has been on my bucket list for years, but it's pretty hard to get to.

This would be Beveridge Reef. Hard to get to, is an understatement.

Researching is not cheating. Researching makes you more knowledgeable and you get to go to bed less stupid.

I sit corrected! 'Tis more important to me to be corrected than just claim I'm right! I don't mind being wrong at all; that's how one learns! THANK YOU! I duck, duck go'ed Eniwetok and got that picture. I only saw it from the ocean. We were followed by a USSR AGI for a couple of days before we got there, Once we anchored, they anchored off of the other side of the island. They left before we did...

Located in the Sekhend volcanic massif at the foot of Mount Sahand, between Tabriz and the city of Osku. A tourist attraction. The village is famous for its dwellings, streets and staircases carved into the igneous rock. [I researched!]

17th century sod church Grafarkirkja in Northern Iceland.

The church was desecrated soon after its construction and was used for a long time as a tool holder.

Despite this, the National Museum of Iceland completely restored the building to its original condition in 1950.
