Visit Million Dollar Hole, Iwo Jima, Japan

Iwo Jima is covered with cave and where live artillery shells, grenades, medical supplies and even human remains can be found. After the war, Iwo Jima became a base for the U.S. military and Coast Guard. It also served as an unofficial dumping ground for aged equipment and munitions. One of these dumps is a seemingly bottomless pit dubbed the 'million dollar hole.' Actually a volcanic fumarole thought to be around 1,000 feet (330 m) deep, the pit got its name because of the millions of dollars worth of tanks, guns, jeeps, trucks and other military equipment dumped there after the war.
