FROM SPECTACULAR LAVA FOUNTAINS…TO DEADLY EXPLOSIONS

Profiling Some Of The Most Significant Eruptions Of Our Time -
Each More Devastating Than The Last, Each With Its Own Compelling Mysteries,
Each Leading Us To A Mega-Eruption That Will Change The World As We Know It.

VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS ARE DRAMATIC REMINDERS that our world is a living planet. Their destructive force is as old as the earth itself – a force that commands respect and fear. Unleashing the power of the Earth’s molten interior in a single cataclysmic event, volcanoes have made their mark on human civilisation since the earliest days of recorded history. We’ll circle the globe profiling some of the most significant eruptions of our time – each more devastating than the last, each with its own compelling mysteries, each leading us to a mega-eruption that will change the world as we know it.

Using archive footage, computer animation, and expert interviews, we expose the killer characteristics of natural disasters, leading to an ultimate disaster. Mega Disaster series takes viewers beyond the news footage, beyond the aftermath, and on a tour of the anatomy of these mega events to understand their genesis and the multitude of factors that contribute to their subsequent impact.

In the final act of each Mega Disaster episode we construct a disaster scenario, using expert information and brought to life with astounding computer graphics, an event of such scale, enormity and power, it will eclipse all other disasters – truly a mega disaster. In the final act of Mega Disaster: Volcano, we investigate the possibility of a blast so powerful it will change the Earth, and with it, the course of human civilisation.
