Description
Travel around the world for a firsthand look at volcanoes - perhaps the most dazzling but destructive natural force on earth. Massive volcanic eruption can turn day into night, releasing the power of an atomic blast, spewing toxic avalanches of lava, gas, and ash. National Geographic Video transports you to some of the world's most notorious volcanoes, including Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines and Japan's Mount Unzen. Join volcanologists in their dangerous quest to forecast eruptions and save lives and experience the explosive excitement and human drama surrounding volcanoes. |

A little scarey for children... by S. Bernstein (NY, NY)  4 Stars
May 08, 2009
We got this for our volcano obsessed 4 year old and it was a little much for him.... more documentary than informational...with plenty of eruptions and discussion of how many people were killed. We'll save it for a little down the line I think!

Fabulous DVD by Abby M. Gross (West Hurley, NY)  5 Stars
January 11, 2009
My grandson has been fascinated with Volcanoes since he was 3 years old.
This is probably the best video out there. He is now six and has been watching it faithfully ever since. Keep in mind, someone dies in the video so it may not be for everyone but educational...a must. For adults it is wonderful.

Excellent Footage by Ursula K. Raphael (Michigan, USA) 5 Stars
December 23, 2008
I bought this for my son because he is fascinated with volcanoes. It's a thousand times better than Ultimate Guide ~ Volcanoes because this DVD focuses more on the actual volcanoes and what the scientists do onsite. My son loved all the various action shots of explosions, lava flows, etc.
They include both the good and bad experiences of several scientists, and one of the bonus features is a separate documentary featuring a scientist's attempt to study one volcano in particular, where he has to overcome all kinds of obstacles just to collect data.
I think this DVD is interesting for all ages, and I also recommend Volcanoes (The Wonders of Our World) for a companion gift.

terrific! by etalieninaz (goodyear, arizona) 5 Stars
January 28, 2007
This is absolutely the best DVD on volcanoes out there because it shows the impact on human life - not only on the people who live in the shadow of an active volcano, but on the people who study or chase volcanoes.
Even though it covers many different eruptions (both old and new), it is well organized and effective.
Highly recommended.
