Geographie

Nippon Causeway, zwischen Bairiki und Betio.

Bikeman versank infolge Strömungsänderungen in den 1990er Jahren im Meer, nachdem zwischen den Inseln Betio und Bairiki, südlich der einstigen Insel, ein Damm errichtet worden war.[1]

  • That sinking feeling. In: Honolulu Star-Bulletin 20. April 2001. „A fisherman wades over land that was formerly above water. The lost island of Bikeman offers a vivid example of the danger facing Pacific islands as global warming causes rising waters.“
