Growing up, Marian Churchill loved to listen to her parents tell her stories about &#8220;the family&#8217;s islands.&#8221; The idea that a poor family in Nanaimo owned its very own [...]]]></description>

Volcanic Islands in French Polynesia


Islands are unique ecosystems steeped in mystery, adventure and novelty. The isolation of islands effects the types of plants and animals found on them. Ninety five percent of Hawaii&#8217;s plants are found nowhere else in the world. How islands are formed is equally unique. Geologically speaking, not all islands are created [...]]]></description>
