文本:
Cyclones1 are one of the most destructive forces in the South Pacific.
Yet surprisingly, they have played acritical role in spreading life to the loneliest islands.
And few islands are more remote than these.
Two thousand miles from the nearest continent, Hawaii is the world's most isolated2 archipelago.
It is so far flung that less than 500 kinds of animals settled here in 30 million years.
Remarkably3, many of these colonisers were carried to Hawaii on the back of cyclones.
For an animal to be sucked up by stormwinds, carried across the ocean and dumped here alive was a matter of extraordinary luck.
