Description: This is the story of how, despite hurricanes, volcanoes, and war, settlement of the South pacific "began thousands of years ago, when different groups from Asia started to spread out slowly among the Pacific Islands. Today this enormous 'melting pot' can be divided into five broad areas-Indonesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, Australia and Tasmania, and Polynesia."
