Amazing photos show an underwater graveyard filled with WWII airplanes

An amazing underwater graveyard near the Marshall Islands is filled with the eery remains of World War II aircraft, and these photographs from Brandi Mueller give us a closer look.

"They call it the 'Airplane Graveyard," Mueller, a scuba instructor, boat captain, and photographer, told the Daily Mail. "They aren't war graves or planes that crashed. They were planes that were taken out over the reef and pushed off intact after the war ended."

The U.S. dumped them after the war since it would've been too expensive to bring them back home. On the sea floor in the lagoon of Kwajalein Atoll rests approximately 150 planes and parts, which include F4U Corsairs, B-25 Mitchells, F4F Wildcats, and many more, according to Mueller.

"I find diving [to see] the airplanes really exciting," Mueller told Mashable. "It's a strange thing to see airplanes underwater. Shipwrecks you expect, but not airplanes."
