The islands of the South Pacific are very remote, so any wildlife that manages to make it there must be able to travel long distances. Luckily, sooty terns are able to remain airborne for a whopping 4 years, and coconuts can travel for months at sea, meaning both species are common in French Polynesia.

Taken from 'South Pacific' (2009).
Unimaginably vast, the Pacific Ocean is 99% water and only 1% land - you could fit the whole of the world's landmasses into it and still have enough room for another Africa! This landmark documentary series explores the sheer scale and majesty of the largest ocean on Earth, the isolation of its islands, the extraordinary journeys wildlife and humans have gone through to reach these specks of land, and what happened to both after their arrival.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.
