Bikini Atoll is one of the nine sites that UNESCO has added to its World Heritage List. Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands was home to a series of nuclear tests in the 1940s and 1950s. UNESCO said the tests “had major consequences on the geology and environment of the atoll and symbolised the dawn of the nuclear age.”
