Gunkanjima Island - Nagasaki, Japan .
It was once the most thickly populated place in the entire world.
This island is currently a phantom town.
Barely any Spots IN THE WORLD have a history as odd, or as strong as Gunkanjima's.
The small, fortress-like island lies simply off the shoreline of Nagasaki. The island is ringed by a seawall, canvassed in firmly stuffed structures, and totally abandoned - a phantom town that has been totally uninhabited for over forty years. Not a solitary soul lives there any longer.
In the mid-1900s, Gunkanjima was created by the Mitsubishi Partnership, which accepted - accurately - that the island was perched on a rich submarine coal deposit.
For practically the following hundred years, the mine developed further and longer, loosening up under the seabed to collect the coal that was driving Japan's modern extension.
By 1941, the island, short of one square kilometer in the region, was delivering 400,000 tons of coal each year.
What's more, large numbers of those functioning thoughtlessly in the undersea mine were constrained workers from Korea.
Significantly more amazing than the mine was the city that had adults around it.
To oblige the diggers, ten-story apartment buildings were developed on minuscule stone - a skyscraper labyrinth connected together by patios, hallways, and steps.
There were schools, cafés, and gaming houses, all encompassed by the defensive seawall.
The island became known as "Midori nashi Shima," the island without green.
Incredibly, by the mid-1950s, it housed right around 6,000 individuals, giving it the most elevated populace thickness the world has at any point known. And afterward, the coal ran out.
Mitsubishi shut the mine, everybody left, and this island city was abandoned, left to return to nature.
The lofts started to disintegrate, and interestingly, in the desolate yards, green things began to develop. Broken glass and old papers blew over the roads. The ocean breeze whistled through the windows.
Presently, after fifty years, the island is precisely as it was soon after Mitsubishi left.
A phantom town in the ocean.
Abandoned world!
