Eating utensils from the Battle of Iwo Jima lay in the darkness of underground tunnels March 20 on Iwo To, Japan. These utensils are over 71-years-old and are slowly breaking down in the tunnels. Some sections of the tunnels collapsed during the war and it is said that some unrecovered bodies still lie in the tombs. Many areas of the tunnels are too dangerous to explore due to cave-ins and unexploded ordnance. (Marine Corps Photo by Cpl. Douglas D. Simons/Released)
