    Go to Google Earth and put the following co-ordinates in the 'fly-to' box:
    8 45.15n, 167 40.98e


    It is the wreck of the Prinz Eugen and it is clearly visible.

    Sorry...that should have said 'craters'. The position is approx half-way between two craters. One at approx 2 o'clock on the beach line and another at 8:00 o'clock further inland. I think there is third, smaller one a little beyond the second and further inland again, although it is not very distinct. There may also be a forth under the water.
