Journeys in Japan S2011E20 - A Precious Ecology: Ogasawara Islands 2

Following on from the last program, JJ continues his journey on the Ogasawara Islands. The Ogasawara Islands are comprised of some 30 islands, large and small, and were formed as a result of undersea volcanic activity that began about 50 million years ago. Besides the inhabited islands of Chichijima and Hahajima, many other areas are also worth seeing such as the desert island of Minamijima which is accessible to tourists.
