Sun Bath on Buster Island
| Two men enjoy a nude sun bath on Buster Island in the Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands, in the South Pacific. The man on the right, wearing only boots, is Ensign Ray Hansen, NATS (Naval Air Transport Services) Administrative Officer of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is seated on a table, the other man is seated on a crate. Both of them have a beverage. The ground appears to be sand and a sports area is fenced off behind them with foliage in the background. |
