Nuclear test sites also provide the opportunity for travelers to see something both exotic and significant. Though invariably far flung — the idea being to minimize impact on larger populations — these sites have natural, military and radioactive histories that are all tethered together by happenstance and national ambitions. Some, like Bikini Atoll, are beautiful while others, like Lop Nur, are basically as close as humans can get to Hades.
