Aloha, history explorers! Did you know the tallest mountain on
Earth isn’t Mount Everest? It’s actually a massive underwater
volcano in Hawaii! In this exciting episode, we are traveling to
the middle of the Pacific Ocean to uncover the epic story of the
Hawaiian Islands. Discover how deep-sea magma created a chain of
132 islands, and learn about the brilliant ancient Polynesian
navigators who found them using only the stars, birds, and ocean
waves! Then, meet King Kamehameha, a powerful warrior who flipped a
5,000-pound rhino-sized rock and united all the islands into one
kingdom! We’ll also explore the time of Queen Liliʻuokalani, the
tragic but important history of Pearl Harbor, and the happy day in
1959 when Hawaii became the 50th American state. Plus, find out why
the Hawaiian alphabet only has 13 letters, how you can go
snowboarding on a tropical island, and try your best to pronounce
the name of Hawaii's state fish: the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a! Grab
your surfboards and snow pants for a fiery, volcano-sized
adventure!
