A minute-by-minute account of the December 2004 tsunami, which destroyed towns and villages across the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000.
Among those sharing their personal experiences of the disaster are a hotelier who was recently married and three months pregnant at the time, and a man travelling by train who was forced to climb on top of the carriage to escape.
Holidaymakers share their experiences of the disaster, including a woman who was separated from her family on the beach, witnessing the death of her son, a couple whose bungalow was destroyed, and a family that fled to higher ground when their hotel was destroyed.

No two volcanoes are alike; each one has its own distinctive landscape, climate, and geological context. Just as unique are the people we meet along the way who help us comprehend how greatly our planet – and our lives – have been shaped by volcanic phenomena. For the scientific aspect of each episode, we explore the very diverse range of questions raised by volcanic phenomena in such varied fields as earth sciences, climatology, biodiversity, oceanography, geography, agronomics, and archaeology. The cultural part of the show delves into mythology, religion, philosophy, folk and artistic traditions, cooking, and ways of life.
