Join Dr. Gary Greenberg for “From the Sea to the Summit,” a stunning visual journey through the hidden microscopic world of Maui.

Travel from the ocean’s edge to the summit of Haleakalā Crater — and even to the sands of the Moon — in a remarkable story of science, beauty, and Hawaiian heritage.
About “The Quietest Place on Earth”:On the island of Maui, Haleakala rises 10,000 feet – nearly two miles – into the sky. The massive crater carries the unique distinction of being “the quietest place on Earth.” The exquisite stillness of its stark volcanic landscape inspires a variety of experiences ranging from spiritual to philosophical. A film by Emmy Award filmmaker Dr. Tom Vendetti.
