For more than 30 years, the inhabitants of Carteret Atoll have stubbornly fought the Pacific Ocean. Over that time, waves and salt water attacked the vegetation and homes of the residents of these six islands belonging to Papua New Guinea – whose highest point is 1.7 meters above sea level –, making it increasingly difficult to life there.

The move began in May this year, with the transfer of the first five families to Bougainville, a larger island less than 100 kilometers away. By 2015, the atoll is expected to be completely submerged.
