We Explored an ABANDONED ISLAND in the Pacific (Rongelap Atoll) [Ep. 187]
An entire island abandoned — not by war or disaster, but by something invisible. Rongelap Atoll was once a thriving Pacific community, until nuclear fallout from U.S. testing forced its residents to flee. Today, it stands frozen in time — buildings decaying, possessions untouched, and an eerie silence that tells a story few have seen. In this gripping exploration, we uncover the secrets left behind and reveal why no one ever came back.
