About
Nantha Kyun is an island off the coast of Rakhine State, Burma. Due to the strong smell emitted by the island's mud volcano, the island was known to the British Empire during the British rule in Burma as Foul Island. This was the site of Operation Boston, a joint US-UK reconnaissance mission overseen by Lord Mountbatten and carried out by Operational Group Command and OSS Detachment 404 during World War II.
