No other ocean has had a greater impact |
| [00:19.15] |
On the lives of so many different animals |
| [00:21.73] |
and cultures than the South Pacific, |
| [00:25.01] |
and it's all down to its massive size. |
| [00:33.11] |
The whole Pacific Ocean is so large, |
| [00:36.14] |
you could fit the world's continents inside it |
| [00:39.00] |
With nearly enough room for another Africa. |
| [00:45.81] |
10,000 miles wide, less than 1% is land. |
| [00:55.11] |
Best known are the Hawaiian islands. |
| [00:57.57] |
They sit 1,500 miles north of the equator, |
| [01:01.19] |
But their story was shaped by the south. |
| [01:05.53] |
The South Pacific is made up of thousands of islands |
| [01:09.69] |
united by cultures and bound together by ocean currents. |
