With continued eruptions, the lava continues to build until it breaks through the ocean's surface and forms an island. n early 60 years after the last of 23 nuclear explosions in its land, air and water, bikini atoll again looks like the idyllic pacific. they start as underwater volcanoes, and as coral reefs grow and thrive on their rims, they eventually form the characteristic ring shape. Most of this atoll is located underwater, with the exception of a few small islets which have been designated as strict nature reserves by the world commission on protected areas (wcpa) since 1998.
