'Ohi'a lehua, a native plant and symbol of Hawaii, is among the first to flourish on this new land.
桃金娘花，原产植物，夏威夷标志，在新土地上率先茂盛起来。
This spindly bush will grow into a 30m-tall tree,
这种细长的灌木能长到30米高
its bright flowers food for a variety of birds, like these Hawaiian honey creepers.
它鲜艳的花朵是各种鸟类的食物，像这些夏威夷蜜匍匐植物。
But how on earth can a seed become a tree
一粒种子究竟怎么在无土
In a place where there is no soil and no sign of fresh water?
无淡水痕迹的地方长成大树的?
The long, tenacious roots of the 'ohi'a wend their way through the cracks
桃金娘花长长的坚韧根部穿过缝隙
and penetrate deep into the rock in search of trapped water and nutrients.
深入岩石深处寻找淡水和养分

Their quest leads them to a remarkable, subterranean world.
探索把它们带往神奇的地下世界
Once, a raging torrent of lava flowed right through here.
曾经有熔岩流正好这里奔流而过
When it stopped, this was all that remained...
当熔岩停止时，它就会留下...
..a lava tube... pitch black, constantly damp... and very cold.
熔岩管，乌黑，常年潮湿，非常冷。

视频及简介

目击地球上最大的海洋中的岛屿出生，成长和死亡。数百万年的历程浓缩在1小时，展现海底火山爆发时难以忘目的影像，熔岩流在海浪下面爆炸。路和房子被熔岩流埋葬。从狂暴开始显露无比丰富的珊瑚礁供养着大群的灰真鲨和大蝠鲼。南太平洋升起的陆地同样为一些非常陌生的动物带来生命，从能在热带冰雪中兴旺发达的吸血虫，依靠火山泉孵蛋的塚雉，到被珊瑚山截留的大群水母群。
