The Foundation crew travels to the Big Island of Hawaii to study how this chain of islands set in the middle of the Pacific, some 2,400 miles from the nearest major landmass first evolved. They also study the diverse marine life that has been attracted to these islands and then later photograph an active volcano, including work that is done beneath the lava flow as it drips into the sea.
