| [00:01.59] | This tiny South Pacific island may not look like much. |
| [00:06.40] | But it was once a mountain that towered above the waves. |
| [00:10.54] | Now it barely breaks the surface. |
| [00:13.72] | Yet still it attracts a spectacular array of wildlife. |
| [00:18.84] | There are thousands of islands just like this scattered across the Pacific, |
| [00:24.75] | and all are teeming with life. |
| [00:27.94] | So what has reduced the mountains of the Pacific to this? |
| [00:32.19] | Almost seven miles deep, |
| [00:34.11] | the Pacific is the deepest body of water on the planet. |
| [00:37.84] | But sometimes, the seabed shoots to the surface. |
| [00:42.10] | Behold one of nature's rarest sights - the creation of a new island. |
| [00:47.79] | This is Kavachi in the Solomon Islands, |
| [00:51.72] | one of the most active undersea volcanoes in the world. |
| [00:56.44] | In the last 100 years, Kavachi's emerged above the waves just a handful of times, |
| [01:02.25] | but so far to no avail. |
| [01:04.98] | Powerful waves keep sweeping its efforts away. |
