The Power of Volcanoes and Ice: Forces of Nature

Editor's Take

A study of the two forces that between them govern the planet, volcanic fire and glacial ice, from Iceland's lava fields to the melting Arctic. It connects raw geology to the climate story with striking 4K imagery.

This documentary examines two of Earth's most powerful forces, fire and ice, and how they shape all life on the planet. From Iceland's erupting lava fields to the melting glaciers of the Arctic, it reveals the raw energy that builds and reshapes the world. Along the way it explains how volcanoes and ice interact to influence climate and landscape. Dramatic and informative, it is a striking look at nature's extremes.
