Your passenger, an archeologist named Dr. Jones has chartered you at the last minute to fly him and a colleague from Sapwuahfik to Pohnpei to investigate the ruined city of Nan Madol in one of the wettest places on earth.
Sapwuahfik, formerly Ngatik, or the Raven Islands is a 110-square-kilometer atoll of the Federated States of Micronesia. It is a village and municipality of roughly 430 people on a land area of 1.5 square kilometers in the state of Pohnpei. Sapwuahfik has an airstrip that lies just off the island of Ngatik, the Sapwuahfik Civil Airfield. Coastal erosion has cut the airstrip off from the island by about 20 meters, making it necessary to ferry arriving and departing passengers between it and Ngatik by boat. There are on-call personnel who go to the airfield whenever a flight is expected.
Pohnpei is home to the megaliths and ruined city of Nan Madol, built of artificial islands off the island's eastern shore beginning in the 8th or 9th century. An important archaeological site, it was declared a national historic site in 1985. Pohnpei contains a wealth of biodiversity. It is one of the wettest places on Earth with annual recorded rainfall exceeding 7,600 mm (300 in) each year in certain mountainous locations.
