The Pacific is the most volcanically active region on Earth. Islands emerge from beneath the ocean's surface without warning. Time lapse and aerial shots, as well as detailed images of animals taken with Wild Pacific's high-definition cameras, reveal the processes of life and death in the Pacific and on its magnificent islands.
