Haha-jima
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haha-jima (母島, lit. "Mother Island", formerly Coffin Island or Hillsborough Island) is the second-largest island of the Ogasawara Islands (also known as the Bonins or Volcano Islands) of Japan. It is about 21 km² in area.
Inhabited before World War II, the Japanese government removed the locals and fortified the island; it was the target of several attacks by US forces during World War II.
