VOLCANO explodes the myths surrounding our planet's violent nature. Journey to the most inhospitable regions on earth, where rock melts and all life trembles. Witness the destructive effects of volcanoes and earthquakes - and the life-giving results of the aftermath. Includes footage of real erupting volcanoes and actual earthquakes in action. Some of the volcano footage is startlingly close-up - some captured by NASA's heat resistant robot. Specially created for this episode are an active 3D graphics volcano; a scale model of Pompeii; and reconstructed scenes demonstrating the destructive effects of an earthquake in slow motion.
