No other ocean has had a greater impact
On the lives of so many different animals
And cultures than the South Pacific
And it's all down to its massive size
The whole Pacific Ocean is so large
You could fit the world's continents inside it
With nearly enough room for another Africa
10000 miles wide less than 1 is land
Best known are the Hawaiian islands
They sit 1500 miles north of the equator
But their story was shaped by the south
The South Pacific is made up of thousands of islands
United by cultures and bound together by ocean currents
