Surrounded by coral seas, they're well known for their exotic floral and bird life. During the Pacific War they were strategic positions for the Japanese forces, 300,000 of whom lost their lives here, many in sunken vessels. The position of several Japanese ships has been confirmed in the Solomon Sea. The wrecks were discovered by an airline pilot who had made a hydrographic chart.

He served in the Danish forces, with NATO and the United Nations before becoming a civil airline pilot. His regular route takes him over Guadalcanal and Rabaul, points of severe clashes during the Pacific war.
