Nuclear Bomb Crater - Enewetak Atoll

[figgy]

Ever wanted to see what the creter from an 81kt nuclear explosion looks like?

This was created by the US in 1951 during the Operation Greenhouse nuclear testing program. The bomb was placed on a 300ft tower and then detonated.

If you turn on Google Earth Community in Layers, then zoom out from your placemark, you'll see perhaps 25 pointers to U.S. test blasts. There's a lot of discussion here:
