What was the island where the US exploded the first atomic bomb?

Japan : Hiroshima & Nagasaki were the cities destroyed. I have heard also that some small Pacific islands were completely vaporized by hydrogen bomb tests during the 1950s, including Bikini Atoll and Elugelab Atoll (the swimwear got its name after the explosion destroyed the island). In addition, I recently learned that the first hydrogen bomb (fusion bomb) test in the South Pacific was about twice as powerful as scientists anticipated. Although the evacuated area was still large enough to keep anyone from being harmed by the larger blast, the extra fallout was suddenly an unanticipated threat to the people of the Marshall Islands, and the U.S. government had to rush over and start evacuating them. I don't know how much harm was done to the people of the Marshall Islands, but I do know that the Marshall Islands has a national holiday to honor its atomic victims.
