太平洋小岛二战残骸航拍:如同一座水中坟墓
Stunning aerial images have revealed remnants from the Pacific conflict in the Second World War which are strewn across forests, shorelines and beaches of islands in the Pacific Ocean.
这些绝美绝伦的航拍图像展现了二战时期太平洋战争的残骸,它们或缀于树林间、或布满沿海地带、又或散落在太平洋岛屿的海滩上。
The remnants were photographed on the Northern Mariana Islands, Solomon Islands and the Rock Islands in Palau.
这些残骸摄于北马里亚纳群岛、所罗门群岛以及帕劳群岛。
They include tanks, tractors, artillery, shipwrecks, including naval transport vessels, debris from Japanese Imperial Navy destroyers and even personal items from soldiers such as helmets.
它们中有坦克残骸、拖拉机残骸、大炮残骸、失事船只残骸,包括海军运输舰、日本帝国海军驱逐舰残骸,甚至还有一些战士们的个人物件如头盔什么的。
The Pacific conflict, often referred to as the Pacific Theatre, was part of the Second World War where Japanese forces fought primarily against the US Navy, US Marine Corps and US Army.
太平洋战争又被称为太平洋战区,是二战时期日本军队和美国海军、美国海军陆战队以及美国陆军的战场。
The UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and other Allied nations also contributed forces until a turning point in the war - the defeat of the Japanese at Guadalcanal in February 1943.
英国、新西兰、澳大利亚、加拿大以及其他同盟国也为此出动军力,直到这场战争进入了转折点——1943年二月日本在瓜达尔卡纳尔岛战败。
