Volcanoes - Ring of Fire. Globe Trekker

Description

Volcanoes both fascinate and frighten mankind. Often causing massive loss of life, they've been worshipped as gods, and feared as homes for the devil. They emit huge amounts of poison gas and ash, yet provide some of the most fertile land on Earth. In this Globe Trekker Special, travelers Megan McCormick, Ian Wright, Justine Shapiro, Alex Riley, and Sami Sabiti explore the world's most spectacular volcanoes, travelling from the heart of Europe, across the Atlantic and Caribbean, to the deadly Pacific Ring of Fire. Ian visits the Italian island of Stromboli. Justine travels to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. Megan heads to the Greek island of Santorini, then visits Krakatoa in Indonesia. Alex travels to Mont Pelée on the Caribbean island of Martinique. Finally, Sami climbs to the summit of Mount Saint Helens in the United States.
