Hawaiian Islands – Memories of Paradise

Maui "Valley Isle", Oahu "Gathering Place" and Kauai "Garden Isle" – three Hawaiian islands, three diverse parts of one expedition. Lecturer Jiří Frolec will explore not only natural beauty but also broader connections: is the famous Waikiki beach worth visiting? Where lies the local equivalent of Arizona's Grand Canyon? Why can oil slicks be seen on the water in one of the harbours despite strict nature protection? And what is the link between local volcanoes and Himalayan peaks?
