We meet the people and wildlife that live alongside the planet’s volcanoes to reveal how these explosive geographical formations affect life on Earth. At the heart of this story is a ground-breaking expedition to one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Biologist Jens Kallmeyer wants to find out how extremophiles – organisms that thrive in extreme environments and are the toughest life forms on earth – survive next to a boiling lake of lava in Vanuatu.
Despite their destructive nature, we discover that volcanoes are actually the life-givers of our planet.
