INTRODUCTION The Marshall Islands on its surface is a paradise waiting to be discovered. The atolls, only 7 meters average above sea level, offer beautiful vistas and eye catching sea life to tourists from all over. History though offers a different story to tell us. This is one not of vistas and paradise but of war, and nuclear bombs. The Marshall Islands holds in its lands some of the great stories of human expansion in prehistoric times, colonization during the European exploration era, and

“In Easter Island...the shadows of the departed builders still possess the land...the whole air vibrates with a vast purpose and energy which has been and is no more. What was it?

He knew he was going to the Galapagos, but he didn't know that he would discover the theory of evolution. The plants on the Galapagos Island are very tropical

Polynesian Expansion Easter Island, previously named Rapa Nui, is mostly famous for its 10 metre tall Moai statues dotting the Island. Easter Island is located on the eastern point of the Polynesian Triangle. Easter Island has four extinct volcanoes, but its largest is Rano Kau, located on the southwestern headland. Rapa Nui was first settled by Hotu Matu’a in 400 CE. He came from the Marquesas in two large canoes with his wife and extended family. The Polynesians navigated Rapa Nui, using only
