S01E05: Marquesas islands: Mountains from the Sea
The Cousteau team on board the Calyspo set sail for the South Pasific and the Marquseas Islands. Once hearty and independent, the people suffered death and destruction under the Spaniards and the Missionaries. Today, these fiercely proud people remain linked to the ancient rituals and customs of the past. The Cousteau cameras capture the beauty of the Marquesas from the highest waterfall in the Southern Hemisphere to mountain streams teeming with blue tropical fish.
