These are scenes which were supposedly along a route from Pu'u O'o to the Pacific Ocean in the Kilauea episode of Man vs Wild. Except for the landing site, they were, in fact, a few feet from various roads and highways used by thousands of tourists daily. Update: The original concept was that Bear Grylls would be dropped into remote areas and make his way to civilization with no help. The Discovery Channel removed this episode and several others from circulation after they were shown to be fake. Other early episodes were heavily edited to remove fake scenes, and new voice-overs were used to disclose that he received help from the crew including the building of shelters and the supplying of animals. Disclaimers on recent episodes disclose that scenes are staged.
Bear crosses the first bridge over the fissures that were blocking his way next to the ocean. This bridge is actually a few hundred feet from Crater Rim Drive on the summit of Kilauea. No such fissures exist near the ocean. This is a very popular viewing area and the early morning shadows show that it was probably taped before most of the tourists arrived.
