About
No two volcanoes are alike; each one has its own distinctive landscape, climate, and geological context. Just as unique are the people we meet along the way who help us comprehend how greatly our planet – and our lives – have been shaped by volcanic phenomena. For the scientific aspect of each episode, we explore the very diverse range of questions raised by volcanic phenomena in such varied fields as earth sciences, climatology, biodiversity, oceanography, geography, agronomics, and archaeology. The cultural part of the show delves into mythology, religion, philosophy, folk and artistic traditions, cooking, and ways of life.
Episodes
Season 1
Etna: The Mountain Mountain
Mount Etna is the highest and most active volcano in Europe. It erupts once or twice a year, threatening the 900,000 people who live nearby. Despite this, every year, in February, Catania becomes the centre of one of the most important Christian pilgrimages in the world. With great ardor, half a million Sicilians congregate and pray to Santa Agata, the protector of the city. They prey for her protection against the wrath of the fiery giant. For noting in the world, would they ever leave this volcanic land, a land of milk and honey where you can find the best oranges in the world.
Bromo - The Sacred Volcano of Java
In Indonesia, the local inhabitants worship the Bromo Volcano. Every year, during the full moon, a procession with torchlights makes its way towards the smoking crater. It is the Kesodo celebration. In the middle of a gigantic sea of volcanic dust, thousands of pilgrims make offerings to the crater which is considered as an incarnation of a Hindu god. Fruits, vegetables, chickens ... women and men give back to the volcano some of what it gave them. They pray for the volcano to grant them life rather than death.
Tanzania - A Volcano on Maasai Territory
Tanzania’s Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano is unique in the world : its liquid black lava turns snow white when it cools down. Our distant ancestors left some footprints which were petrified by the volcano 20,000 years ago... Mathieu Kervyn, a volcanologist at the University of Brussels, is one of the rare specialists of this particular volcano. It has not been studied much due to its difficult accessibility. After a perilous climb, Mathieu reaches the magnificent crater in order to draw a map. At the foot of the volcano, on the shores of Lake Natron, the Maasaï people worship the God who sleeps in its smoking crater: the great Engai.
Westman Islands - The Volcanic Guardians of Iceland
Lost in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Westman Islands located off the coast of Iceland seem to be on guard duty. In this isolated archipelago, men and women of strong character have learned to live with this intense Icelandic volcanic activity, sometimes risking their lives ... In 1973, the inhabitants of Heimaey had to be evacuated when a powerful eruption destroyed half of the city. Gerture had to abandon her house. She reminisces with emotion ... To access these steep islands, the islanders have adapted with tremendous ingenuity, using a zip line to hoist their sheep from a frail boat onto the green volcanic island. Further away, Surtsey Island emerged from the waves only 50 years ago, after a violent volcanic eruption, and has become a real laboratory for naturalists!
Unzen - Man Versus Giant
Japan’s Mount Unzen violently awakened in 1991, after two centuries of sleep... For five years, terrifying avalanches of gas and ash destroyed everything on their path. But the Japanese did not give in and stood up to the volcano. They invested pharaonic sums of money into creating dams to prevent mud flows. Despite the relentless threat of the volcano, people remained nearby. In Japan, the sense of belonging to the land is very strong, especially when one can enjoy the benefits of geothermal energy : hot baths and volcanic cooking.
Hawaii - The Lava of Kilauea
In Hawaii, the Kilauea volcano has been erupting continuously since 1983. Its glowing streams flow into the Pacific in a magical commotion of water and fire, transforming the island into an everlasting cycle of creation and destruction. If the lava of the volcano creates new lands on the ocean, it also destroys entire villages such as Kalapana where a community still lives in harmony with their fiery giant. Women and men rebuilt their homes on black lava, where their old lands were situated. Every week, they come together and celebrate the carnal bond that ties them to the Hawaiian volcanic land. For any volcano enthusiast, the grail is to get closer to the lava and to take a sample, as did Haroun Tazief, the legendary volcanologist…Arnaud Guerin’s dream has comes true.
Kawah Ijen: The Hell of Sulfur
In Indonesia, Kawah Ijen reveals its infernal insides. Miners extracting sulfur work in extreme conditions, and take turns daily in the inferno of the crater. One of the workers, Sarno, has been working there for twenty-eight years. Under such severe conditions, he would extract sulfur with a mining bar and carry 75 kilos of it on his back. Sum Arti, a volcanologist, monitors the level of danger linked to gases and protects miners from the risk of gas bubbles that can potentially be lethal.
Auvergne: The Mysteries of Its Sleeping Giants
Despite its peaceful demeanour, the volcanoes in Auvergne have known a tumultuous past. Large reserves of magma have been discovered recently in the underground depths and a new eruption cannot be ruled out entirely. The Pavin Lake is said to be cursed ... Although today it remains quiet, many stories reveal that is was surprisingly active until the eighteenth century, with villages being engulfed by swirls of lava ... Today, scientists are investigating its deep black waters to try and explain this strange phenomena.
