Burt Wolf: Travels and Traditions

Islands of Bermuda (9x2)

Air date: Jan 10, 2009

The islands of Bermuda are the result of a volcanic eruption that took place about 70 million years ago. It sent up a three mile high needle of rock that topped out just below the surface of the water. The rock was in the middle of the Gulf Stream which comes up from the Caribbean and keeps the water warm throughout the year. Burt scoots around the city capital of Hamilton, learns about The Royal Dockyards where the British kept their fleet during the Revolutionary War, visits an outstanding Aquarium, and checks out the local food.
