Supervolcanoes
Description
Humans have created weapons capable of massive violence, but the potential for destructive energy dwarfing any nuclear weapon lies within nature. Supervolcanoes can produce a cataclysmic explosion 40,000 times larger. This video tells the story of a simmering time bomb in the heart of the American West, beneath the jewel of the National Park System.
