Trevally Fish

In the 1940s and '50s, the U.S. conducted a series of nuclear tests in the Bikini Atoll, a ring of Pacific islands in Micronesia. Radioactive fallout still pollutes Rongelap Atoll, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) to the east, but the nuclear blasts seem to have had no long-term impact on marine life there, including this school of trevally fish photographed by Kristof in the late '90s.
