Scene notes:
…on jungle and volcanic landscape below. So many cliffs, Waimeia Canyon is a park which has a past as
a volcano. It is scientifically shown to be the oldest of the islands of Hawaii, and ‘only a few’
million years ago there were many chambers of magma that collapsed into thin lava flows in the west
side and thick flows in the east, and constantly erupting basalt continued to build many of the
cliffs. As time went on, the rock decomposed enough from frequent rain to create soils for a jungle
to grow. The original plant species that seeded today’s ecosystem floated in from storms that were
taken from their birth islands over millennia. Here, the clouds that carried this rain are building
and meandering, as they so often have throughout all the planet’s more recent time. Interval: 3
seconds.
