Observe Polynesian culture through dance performances telling legends of ancient South Seas people and gods
The origins and evolution of break dancing
Behold magma eruptions from Earth's core ushering lava rivers down Kilauea in Hawaii
Study how magma erupts as lava and turns into pumice or hardens to form a shield volcano
Wander through the mountains, across valleys, down rivers, and along the coasts of the U.S. Pacific region
The stages of lava: From eruption to cooling
Fly over the Hawaiian Islands to see volcanoes, black and white sand beaches, and Waimea Canyon
Watch clouds form over the Pacific Ocean and waterfalls pour down Mount Waialeale on the Hawaiian island of Kauai
The beautiful dance traditions of Bali
