'Ohi'a lehua, a native plant and symbol of Hawaii, is among the first to flourish on this new land.

This spindly bush will grow into a 30m-tall tree,
這種細長的灌木能長到30米高
its bright flowers food for a variety of birds, like these Hawaiian honey creepers.
它鮮艷的花朵是各種鳥類的食物，像這些夏威夷蜜匍匐植物。
But how on earth can a seed become a tree
一粒種子究竟怎么在無土
In a place where there is no soil and no sign of fresh water?
無淡水痕跡的地方長成大樹的?
The long, tenacious roots of the 'ohi'a wend their way through the cracks
桃金娘花長長的堅韌根部穿過縫隙
and penetrate deep into the rock in search of trapped water and nutrients.
深入巖石深處尋找淡水和養分
Their quest leads them to a remarkable, subterranean world.
探索把它們帶往神奇的地下世界
Once, a raging torrent of lava flowed right through here.
曾經有熔巖流正好這里奔流而過
When it stopped, this was all that remained...
當熔巖停止時，它就會留下...
..a lava tube... pitch black, constantly damp... and very cold.
熔巖管，烏黑，常年潮濕，非常冷。
