October 29th Reuters "World War II bombs found on Galapagos island."
Twelve bombs were found by fishermen on Bartolome Island which is part of the Galapagos Islands, 600 miles off the South American coast.
These islands are a providence of Ecuador which let us set up a base during World War II on Baltra Island because of its strategic location southwest of the Panama Canal which had become very strategically important for shipping between the east and west US coasts.
The bombs had been buried and Ecuador is planning a more thorough search.
The Galapagos Islands became famous for Charles Darwin's research on natural selection.
