Thousand of eggs
that will never hatch
:45:08
cover the surface of the atolls.
:45:12
They are the eggs of sea gulls
and other birds.
:45:16
Sterile eggs that died
before they were even laid.
:45:21
This sea bird went out
looking for food,
:45:24
but every night,
it still comes back
:45:26
to sit on them.
:45:29
The atom killed the seed
of life in the eggs.
:46:42
Atomic contamination,
even more tragically,
:46:48
destroyed the sense of
orientation in the sea turtle.
