Island diversity

Located more than 2,ooo miles from the nearest continental shore, the Hawaiian archipelago is the most isolated group of islands in the world. Nonetheless, we've caught a glimpse of several species that have found their way here one way or another including animals not pictured below such as humpback whales and the great frigatebird.

I like the sea meghan. I don't think I saw any when I last snorkled in Hawaii. Patrick
