After the Second World War, U.S. military dumped its equipment into the Pacific Ocean. When the United States military left the Vanuatuan island of Espiritu Santo, after occupying it during World War II, it left behind an odd legacy. U.S. military dumped its equipment into the ocean, just so the French and British couldn’t have them. It was also much cheaper to just simply dumb all the goods, than ship it all back to US. Military equipment was worth around 1 million dollars, hence the name, The Million Dollar Point. Today this famous underwater sight attracts lots of snorkelers and scuba divers.
