Los Alamos Trinity Test Site

This photo of J. Robert Oppenheimer, head of the scientists, and General Leslie R. Graves, Military leader of the Manhattan Project, is at the Ice House Memorial. It is the site of the Los Alamos test of the atomic bomb, before it was used on Japan. The twisted metal at their feet is all that was left of a 100 ft. metal structure after the test.
