Original – Bikini Atoll, the site of 23 nuclear tests in 1940s and 50s.

Reason: Bikini Atoll lead image. The island was the site of 23 nuclear tests in 1940s and 50s. At lease fifteen tests were done in the depicted area, details here and here. A large crater, formed by four detonations, is visible at the top left corner of the island (Bravo, Romeo, Fir, Poplar). The native population was relocated prior to testing. A resettlement effort in 1970s failed due to radioactive contamination.
