Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean is a giant body of water. Filled with fish and stuff. Its also a good place to look for sunken treasure, downed World War II aircraft, mermaids, sea monsters, water skiers and Aquaman. The Western Pacific Ocean contains the subregion known as Micronesia, which is positioned east of the Philippines and northeast of Australia.

The infamous kaiju known as Godzilla occasionally enjoys napping in the deep sea of the Central Pacific.

Points of Interest

 * Bikini Atoll: Beginning in 1946, the United States conducted a series of nuclear tests on Bikini Atoll, which involved the detonation of twenty-three atomic devices between the close of World War II up through 1956. History would have you believe that nothing serious ever came from these tests, but film history would say otherwise. Exposure to ambient radiation from the tests is what caused three bio-genetically created animals known as Dorats to merge together and grow into the monstrous King Ghidora. Another story states that the 1946 incident at the Atoll was actually military forces using nuclear weapons in an effort to destroy a M.U.T.O. that would later come to be known as Godzilla. Whatever story you choose to believe, there is no denying that Bikini Atoll plays a large role in the spawning of some of the world's most infamous monsters.


 * Oto Island: Oto Island is a fictional location featured in the Shōwa series of Godzilla films. It is a pivotal location seen in the original 1954 film Gojira. Scenes of Oto Island were also edited into the 1956 quasi-remake Godzilla, King of the Monsters. Oto Island is a southern Japanese fishing village. It is from where the monster Godzilla receives his namesake. Gojira was an antiquated legend of the Oto islanders. In "the old days", according to an elder, when the fishing was poor the villagers sacrificed young virgins to appease the sea monster's hunger. When ships began inexplicably sinking off the coast of Oto Island in 1954, the natives performed a purification ceremony, the last remnant of the old traditions, in a village temple. Oto is the first location where the kaiju is known to have come ashore. While its appearance was presumably coincidence, paleontologist Kyohei Yamane elected to name it "Gojira" after the legend.


 * South Pacific: The South Pacific refers to the southern quadrant of the Pacific Ocean. It is a tropical region which includes Oceania and it's island chains such as Australia, Polynesia, Micronesia and the Malay Archipelago.


 * Tahiti: Tahiti is the largest island in the Windward group of French Polynesia, located in the archipelago of the Society Islands in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is the economic, cultural and political center of French Polynesia. The island was formed from volcanic activity and is high and mountainous with surrounding coral reefs.
