Hey, Samir, can you, can you hear me okay?

Yes, I can.

Hi, Dylan.

Hey, hey, how you doing?

Everyone, this is Samir Patel.

He is the editor-in-chief of Atlas Obscura, and Samir, what are you very experienced at?

Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of scuba diving experience.

I've dived on shipwrecks because I used to write a lot about archaeology.

I've dived in caves and with sharks and on reefs.

But some of the memories of the South Pacific, which is where I think we're going to go here,

are still very strong in my mind.

You ready to take us down underwater?

Absolutely.

I'm Dylan Thurus, and this is Atlas Obscura, a celebration of the world's strange, incredible,

and wondrous places.

And today, we're going to the island nation of Vanuatu in the South Pacific.

And we're headed off the coast, off the edge of it, underwater to visit a very strange

place from a very strange episode at the end of World War II, a place called Million Dollar

Point.

That's after this.

I should start by revealing a certain amount of geographical ignorance.

We're in the world.
