Marshall Islands


Title – Marshall Islands
Date – September 2004
Location - Marshal Islands

Coral Atolls pepper the Pacific Ocean, dotted in the almost turquoise sea, from the air they really can look like paradise and many of them are, but every so often you come across one that seems to break the mould and might be worth avoiding.

The pacific is certainly one of the friendliest regions of the earth and in general is a very safe area to visit, but like every rule there are exceptions and there are some that remain dangerous to visit. Chuck lagoon in Micronesia is not well know for it’s hospitality and countries like Papua New Guinea still suffer from a lack of effective policing and inter-tribal tensions that mean you must plan well in order to visit.
