All about Oceania | Learn about this beautiful region in the Pacific Ocean
Have you ever heard of a region of the world known as Oceania? Oceania for Kids explores the history and some interesting facts about the area. It consists of 10,000 islands and 14 countries in the Pacific Ocean. In fact, Oceania covers around 20 million square miles, which is about a third of the entire Pacific Ocean! However, if you condense it all down to just land area, it is much smaller in comparison, at just under 3.3 million square miles.
Historians believe that over 30,000 years ago, humans migrated from Asia to the islands in Oceania. Most think the first immigrants stopped in New Guinea and eventually travelled to the other islands. While the people started with one culture, traveling to other islands led to the development of unique cultures in each place. That makes Oceania one of the most culturally diverse areas on the planet.
The video describes a little bit about each of the 14 countries that are part of this beautiful region. For instance, Australia makes up most of the land mass given its massive size as an island. Fiji is made of 332 islands, but only around a third of them are inhabited. Kiribati is the only country in the world that has islands spread across all four hemispheres.
Micronesia is home to the world’s only ancient city built on a coral reef. The city is called Nan Madol. The country is also home to the largest crabs in the world. Nauru is only eight square miles in area, which is smaller than most cities in the US! Almost half of all dolphin and whale species can be found off the coast of New Zealand.
