Into the Inferno

Synopsis

When volcanoes exploded in the past, they helped shape us as a species. From our earliest ancestors to travellers battling with the effects of ash clouds on airline flights, our evolutionary destiny has been played out in the shadow of volcanoes. One day in the future there will be another super-eruption like the one that triggered the last ice age.
In this global odyssey Werner Herzog explores why, where and how our lives are inextricably linked with the most destructive and creative force on Earth. Teaming up with the world’s leading volcanologist, Clive Oppenheimer, to bring the story of the relationship between volcanoes, our planet and human society.
