Asan Point Overlook

The following pictures were taken atop Nimitz Hill overlooking Asan Point, the site where the 3rd Marine Division landed under intense fire from the Japanese on July 21, 1944.


Looking towards the north end of the island from Nimitz Hill.

Vantage Point for the Japanese on the heights over Asan. Imagine the US Navy ships, landing craft and Marines coming ashore under intense Japanese fire on July 21, 1944.

Shot looking straight out over Asan Point. Camel Rock is just off the Point. Below in the clearing is the War in the Pacific National Park in Asan. Guam was bombarded for 13 days prior to the US landing, hoping to soften up the Japanese defenses.

This is a zoom shot of the War in the Pacific National Park in Asan Village. I used a Canon EF 75-300mm soom lens.

This is a zoom shot of Camel Rock (so named because of its resemblance to a camel) using the same Canon zoom lens.
