Event details
Horizon follows an international team of volcanologists inIceland as they draw fascinating parallels with the volcanoeson Earth and those elsewhere in the solar system. Through theteam's research, we discover that the largest volcano of thesolar system - Olympus Mons on Mars - has been formed in asimilar way to those of Iceland, how a small moon of Jupiter -Io - has the most violent eruptions anywhere, and find outthat a moon of Saturn called Enceladus erupts icy geysers froma hidden ocean. Computer graphics combined with original NASAmaterial reveal the spectacular sights of these amazingvolcanoes. Along the way, we learn how volcanoes are not justa destructive force, but have been essential to the formationof atmospheres and even life. And through these volcanoes ofthe solar system, scientists have discovered far more aboutour own planet, Earth- hat it was like when Earth firstformed, and even what will happen to our planet in the future.
