Læs om eventyret på øer fra mystiske øer med regnbuer til katastroferamte øer i det Indiske Ocean

Spændingen stiger, når vi drager ud til øerne i verden. Fra øer, der har mystificeret os i årevis til katastroferamte øer, er der en overflod af eventyr at udforske. En vandretur til Fox Island i Wellfleet åbenbarer ærefrygtindgydende mudder, gæs og endda en regnbue, mens beboere på Reunion Island står over for en voldsom storm, der tvinger dem til at søge ly. Og lad os ikke glemme om den fascinerende Sandy Island midt i Stillehavet, som viser sig at være en spøgelsesø.

Menneskelig bosættelse viser sig at have en indvirkning på øernes planteliv, og selvom øboerne i Hauser Island modtager udfordringer, vælger de at omfavne dem. Med fortidens fortifikationer undersøgt under en bronzealderlandsby i Italien og en tragisk brand på Neville Island i USA er øernes historier både spændende og hjerteskærende. Uanset om det er naturoplevelser eller katastrofeberedskab, er der altid noget uventet i vente på disse øer.
