Overview:
"From a distance, Canton was a low white smear on the horizon whose highest point was barely twenty feet above sea level. As our plane prepared for our final approach, we were able to see that the atoll was brilliant white coral roughly in the shape of a donut or inner-tube that had been stretched by some gargantuan force into an oblong shape somewhat resembling a pork chop. The rim that outlined the pork chop was only a few hundred yards wide at its broadest point with a large lagoon in its center. We also observed a "cut" in the perimeter of the atoll that apparently provided access to the lagoon from the open ocean. Ominously, the rusting hulk of some hapless vessel that had run aground was visible adjacent to this cut. Very little vegetation or trees were visible from the air, just shimmering white coral baking in the tropical sun. The reflections from the surface of the sea, the coral, and the clouds, coupled to make the scene blindingly brilliant." | |
