Jaluit Atoll
Jaluit is a place where several layers of Marshall Islands history remain visible. Once an important administrative and trading centre, the atoll later became a Japanese base and a target during the Second World War. Wrecks and abandoned buildings still sit within a landscape where life continues around the lagoon, the church, the wharf and the sea. These photographs move between that inherited history and the everyday life of Jabor today.

From the air, the islets and reefs surrounding Jabor reveal Jaluit’s defining geography: slender strips of land held between the sheltered lagoon and the open Pacific.
