Show Notes

Islands Etched in Stone: How Earth’s Forces Carved the Caribbean’s First Shores is a three-chapter documentary journey into the deep-time origins of the Caribbean. Long before the first canoe crossed open water, the region rose and fell through cycles of volcanic fire, shifting plates, rising seas, and coral growth. The series follows scientists in the field as they walk the Blue Mountains, examine limestone cliffs, dive across ancient reef shelves, and trace the signatures left by eruptions, uplift, and erosion. Viewers learn how volcanic arcs built towering peaks, how coral reefs created wide limestone platforms, and how water carved the valleys and coastlines that would later support forests, rivers, and human cultures. The documentary shows the Caribbean not as a fixed paradise, but as a landscape shaped by immense forces over millions of years.

This is the story of the Caribbean before people, when the Earth alone sculpted the islands that would one day anchor a world of cultures, languages, and history.
