This page is devoted to understanding more about the culture,
history, and geography of the countries that send us our
marine livestock. We're going to take a little virtual tour,
so have a seat while we take a look around!
For a basic visual to find your "whereabouts"
in the South Pacific & Indo-Pacific ...
Island culture and history is very interesting and there are endless areas of potential study
with every geographical location ... from learning about the history of the people and the settlement
and civilization of the society; to discovering the flora and fauna or marine life; the food
and customs; geography of the region; or just to get a feel of what the places look like.
We can only begin to brush the surface here, but we hope these pages bring you enjoyment!
Blowholes at Houma Liku, Tonga ...
The archipelago of Tonga was named "the Friendly Islands"
by Captain James Cook who visited in the mid-late 1700's.
He and his crew charted areas previously unknown,
mapped the Great Barrier Reef, along with Tonga
and Fiji, as well as other islands in the South Pacific.
