海洋岛屿 10

There are thousands of islands in the South Pacific.

Many are unbelievably remote.

Some are thousands of miles away from the nearest continent

and hundreds of miles from their nearest neighbour.

Imagine each island as a castle

and the ocean a giant moat

stretching to the horizon in every direction

and you have captured the essence of their isolation.

It's a wonder how any life reached these islands at all.

But no matter how remote or small an island is

animals have somehow conquered the massive ocean barrier

to reach these specks of land.

For the lucky few that made it

South Pacific islands provided great opportunities.

Once here, they had the freedom to be different.
