In the Americas With David Yetman

Hawaii's Big Island: The Volcanos' Gifts

Season 1, Episode 7 of 10

The Hawaiian Islands owe their existence to a volcanic hotspot, whose spewings over millions of years have created the archipelago. Host David Yetman climbs over old and new lava flows to observe new lands emerging from the ocean. At night manta rays flock to the newly created seafloor of the Kona Coast.
