Elugelab

Elugelab (or Elugelap; Marshallese: Āllokļap, [æ̯ælʲlʲe͡oɡʷ(ɔ͡ʌ)ɫɑ͡æpʲ]) was an island, part of the Enewetak atoll in the Marshall Islands. It was increased in size, and then destroyed by the world's first test of a hydrogen bomb on 1 November 1952, by shot "Mike" of Operation Ivy. Prior to being enlarged, and destroyed, the island was described as "just another small naked island of the atoll". The detonation also collapsed some natural crevices in the reef, some distance away from the rim of the crater.
