The Power of Volcanos

Season 1
Big Volcanic eruptions are very rare compared to the duration of a human life. Only indications of passed catastrophes can give us a clue what could happen in future. An epidemic in Europe, Sulphur sediments found in the ice of Greenland and a forever disappeared nation - could a volcano connect all these things? Scientists reconstruct passed catastrophes and explain the power of the stone giants.

    Today more people than ever live in close proximity to volcanoes. While the giants are sleeping, these metropolises grow in seeming safety. But the chance of a catastrophe looms over them.
