You're on the right track talmacapt. Look on higher ground.

Well found om and you have control.

The mines were of course those planted and exploded under German trenches in June 1917. 19 were fired with devastating results. For various reasons 6 were not and one of these later detonated during an electrical storm on the 17th June 1955 killing a cow. Five therefore remain and to the best of my knowledge it seems likely that most are still primed and ready to go.

Are we in the Maldives? Never been there but understand this hotels of this type are prevalent there.

Edit:

Had second thoughts, don't think there are rocks like that in the Maldives.
