Marlon Brando fell in love with the lush, private South Pacific atoll, Tetiaroa, while filming the 1962 film Mutiny on the Bounty - the Oscar winner purchased his beloved chain of islands in 1967 in the hopes they could be used as a location for research and education on biodiversity and sustainability. Today, the remote string of South Pacific islets, still owned by the Brando family, is home to a team of biologists, including the Oscar winner's grandson, who conduct research on mosquito-borne illnesses - specifically the rapidly-spreading Zika virus. #Repost @wil_in_the_sky ・・・ Tetiaroa island! #tetiaroa #privateisland #marlonbrando #sea #sun...
