Laos

A man in a field of bomb craters in Ban Kay, Laos. Much of Laos looks like a pastoral moonscape. 30 years later nothing grows these craters, which are a prime source of bomb fragment for scrap metal hunters. 2,000 - 3,000 lb fragmentation bombs are said to have created these craters. The US dropped approximately 2 million tons of bombs on Laos making it one of the most heavily bombed countries in world history.
