By meeting the people and wildlife that live alongside the planet’s volcanoes, we reveal the ways in which volcanoes affect life on Earth. At the heart of this story is a ground-breaking expedition to one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

Despite their destructive nature, volcanoes are actually the life givers of our planet.
