Nathan and Alana Eagle called their trip to the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument — a remote place in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands where few people are allowed to visit — “magical” and “transformative.” It also left them with a profound realization of man’s impact on the environment.

Learn more about the monument through their special multimedia project for Civil Beat, called The Last Wild Place.
