Tara Pacific expedition - november 2017 Kimbe Bay, papua New Guinea, Zero wreck: Coral growth on this wreck is from a period of 74 years ! D: 15 m The ZERO, is a Japanese WW2 fighter plane wreck. This Zero wreck was discovered in January 2000 by local William Nuli while he was freediving for sea cucumbers. He asked the Walindi Plantation Resort dive team if they might know what it was, and when they investigated they uncovered the intact wreck of a Zero fighter, resting on a sedimented bottom in 15 m depth. This World War II Japanese fighter is almost completely intact. The plane is believed to have been ditched, the pilot is believed to have survived, but was never found on the island. He never returned home. Maybe he disappeared in the jungle? On 26th December 1943, during the battle of Cape Gloucester, the Japanese pilot made an emergency landing, ditching his Mitsubishi A6M Zero plane into the sea approximately 100m off West New Britain Province. The plane was piloted by PO1 Tomiharu Honda of the 204st K?k?tai. His fate is unknown but it is believed the he made a controlled water landing after running out of fuel and survived. Although he failed to return to his unit, the plane was found with the throttle and trim controls both set for landing and the canopy was open. There are no visible bullet holes or other shrapnel damage and the plane is still virtually intact after over 70 years underwater. It is a A6M2 Model 21 Zero, made famous for its use in Kamikaze attacks by the Japanese Imperial Navy. The wreck has the Manufacture Number 8224 and was built by Nakajima in late August 1942. https://images.robertharding.com/zoom/RM/RH/HORIZONTAL/860-287442.jpg860-287442https://www.robertharding.com/licenses-explained/https://www.robertharding.com/preview/860-287442/tara-pacific-expedition-november-kimbe-bay-papua-new/

An Asian woman is having fun sledding down a steep ice slope. Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival. Gangwon-do, South Korea. The Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival is a tradition for Korean people. Every year in January crowds gather at the frozen river to celebrate the cold and snow of winter. Main attraction is ice fishing. Young and old wait patiently over a small hole in the ice for a trout to bite. In tents they can let the fish grilled after which they are eaten. Among other activities are sledding and ice skating. The nearby Pyeongchang region will host the Winter Olympics in February 2018. https://images.robertharding.com/zoom/RF/CI/HORIZONTAL/857-95066.jpg857-95066https://www.robertharding.com/licenses-explained/https://www.robertharding.com/preview/857-95066/asian-woman-fun-sledding-down-steep-ice-slope/
