The islands of the South Pacific, romantically called "South
Seas" or "Oceania", are scattered over the
Pacific Ocean between the continents of Asia and America.
The inhabitants of approximately 25,000 islands belong to
three major cultur groups: Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia.
Polynesia extends over the islands of Hawaii,
New Zealand, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands,
Niue, French Polynesia (Tahiti), Tokelau, Wallis & Futuna,
Tuvalu, Pitcairn and Easter Island. Melanesia in the Eastern
Pacific consists of Fiji, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Solomon
Islands and Papua New Guinea. Micronesia in the Northwestern
Pacific encompasses the Marschall Islands, the Federated States
of Micronesia, Palau, Guam, the Northern Marianas, Kiribati
and Nauru.
PACIFICA produces documentaries for TV as
well as videos and DVDs about the South Pacific islands and
