Host Philippe Cousteau explores the cause of recent forest fires. We examine the nature of lightning strikes and how scientists are tracking them. We visit the country of Iceland and venture onto a large glacier and explore an ice cave. We also discover why glaciers are melting and how this will change the sea level.
