Climate Change in Tuvalu

The wreck of a boat left by American forces during their stationing on Tuvalu during World War 2. The island nation was a key position in the Pacific theatre and was home to some 6000 American troops who launched aerial raids against Japanese forces further north. Now, the rusting remains of equipment can occasionally be found on the islands, still standing where they were left seven decades previous. Funafuti atoll, Tuvalu. March, 2019.
