D – General Studies
Ocean View Community Center | March 31, 2025-April 28, 2025
Monday: 2:30 PM-3:45 PM
An island tour! Discover why Hawaii, the most isolated archipelago in the world, is so unique from an evolutionary point of view with its many endemic plant and animal species. We discuss how the arrival of people, from the first Polynesians to the many cultures that followed, altered the islands forever, for better or worse. Our pictorial exploration takes us from the top of the mountains to under the water and from the crater of an active volcano to some incredibly inviting beaches.
