Yet with this fascination comes the horror of a volcano's destructive force - devastated cities, charred landscapes, and clouds of ash obsuring the sun. Life on the Edge attempts to capture both the awesome beauty and the lasting effects of this powerful natural phenomena. His adventures, lasting 14 months, are the bedrock of this title. You can follow his trek or simply explore the world of volcanoes through articles, photos, and maps. It's a very smart production, obviously designed with a great deal of care and thought.
Volcanoes is also awe-inspiring.
While last summer's 'Twister' may have impresed upon us the fury of cyclones, the stories in Volcanoes dwarf even the most outlandish Hollywood disaster script. We also learn that the river of lava is rarely the killer in a volcanic eruption. Think of Volcanoes as a high-quality interactive documentary with a surprising amount of drama, but none of it artifically manufactured. All rights for original work reserved.
