- During an expedition to Polynesia, the Cousteau team explores an underwater volcano known as MacDonald Seamount, or Tamarii in Polynesian. The rusty red lava that forms the dome of the seamount comes from a hot spot that, millions of years ago, gave birth to the southern islands of Polynesia. Now Calypso's divers are witness to early signs of a new islands birth. Just days after the ship leaves, there will be a full eruption of rocks, steam and gas bubbles

- Lors de l'expedition en Polynésie française, les plongeurs Cousteau partent à la découverte du mont Mac Donald, un volcan sous-marin situé dans l'archipel des Îles Australes (Polynésie française) également appelé "Tamarii" dans la langue polynésienne. Les laves émises durant les éruption sous-marines du mont Mac Donald proviennent du point chaud ayant donné naissance aux îles Australes. Les plongeurs de la Calypso découvrent une cheminée du vlocan et assistent aux premières manifestation d'une violente éruption ayant éclatée 3 jours plus tard.
