Description:	In the humid tropical Mariana Islands of the western Pacific, people first made their homes here about the same time when Greek myths tell us that Jason and his companions aboard the Argo explored the farthest reaches of their known world, completely unaware of a quite different voyage that occurred on the opposite side of the globe. The adventure of finding and colonizing the Marianas was a real-life event, unlike the concoction of historical facts and legendary fiction infused in Jason’s heroic quest for the Golden Fleece. Although lacking epic heroes and mythic grandeur, the Marianas adventure achieved a breakthrough in human history, for the first time crossing the barrier of truly long-distance voyaging into an entirely foreign territory of remote islands amidst the awesome expanse of a seemingly boundless ocean
