Part one of two. Kate Humble joins a team of geologists on a research expedition to the Vanuatu archipelago in the southern Pacific, beginning at Mount Yasur on the island of Tanna, one of the most active volcanos in the world. To discover whether a devastating eruption might happen, the scientists need to collect a lava bomb the minute it is hurled from the crater and while they prepare for their mission, Kate explores the island and discovers how the volcano shapes the lives, traditions and beliefs of everyone who lives in its shadow
