Photos taken from the ground are not likely to be very interesting. Fig Island 2 and 3 are made of piled shells and are respectively about 80 and 50 meters across, but only one or two meters high, and are at least partially covered by vegetation. Fig Island 1 is taller, but covered in vegetation. In fact, it was not recognized as a ring until well after the NRHP designation. Aerial photos and/or maps/drawings such as those in the reports used as sources would be better, but I haven't found any that I know are free use (the reports to NPS were produced by academics under contract, not by employees of the U.S.). Fair use of something from one of the reports is possible, but I have no experience or skill in pulling images from PDF docs. -- Donald Albury 11:34, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
