About this episode

We arrive at Nihoa, a rock pinnacle that rises up out of the middle of deep ocean. In centuries past small communities of Hawaiians lived on this remote scrap of basalt, growing taro on small terraces and fishing in the productive waters surrounding the island. After asking permission to come ashore, in the Hawaiian way, we thread our way through a chaos of sea birds to the ridge high above.
