Rapture (city)

"We're there in Rapture. It's an underwater city. If I were there, maybe I should've checked that place out for sure. It's deep underwater, but it's urbanized, of course."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Saving Elizabeth

Rapture (also known as the North Atlantic Project and the Rapture Colony) is a massive underwater city forged by the personal dreams of Andrew Ryan to escape from the political, social and religious anxieties of a post-World War II world. It was established on November 5, 1946, and finished in late 1951. It is located at 63° 2' N, 29° 55' W, which places it at about 433 kilometers (269.054 miles) west of Iceland's capital, Reykjavik.
