George returns to the “Fin Del Mundo” at the southern tip of Argentina, this time to sail on a Russian icebreaker to Antarctica. After braving the stormy Drake passage, he explores volcanic Deception Island, camps out in the Antarctic snow, and paddles a kayak through icebergs calved off the melting glaciers.
No-one creates eco-disasters on quite the scale of the former Soviet Union. In Uzbekistan, the Aral Sea, once one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, has seen its waters diverted, so that it has shrunk to 1/6 its previous size. In Crimea, a mountain has been carved into a james bondian submarine base. In northern Ukraine, the Chernobyl nuclear site has been reduced to a radioactive wasteland.
Early September of 2008 saw radical imagery on the hurricane maps of the Atlantic – four named tropical storms, swirling in a train across the ocean. “Angry Planet” was there as three of them made landfall as hurricanes in the US. We filmed gustaf in Louisiana, Hanna in North Carolina, then flew with the USAF Hurricane Hunters into Ike over cuba, and met it again as it made a wild destructive landfall in Galveston, Texas.

Mark & Jaclyn chase extreme winter weather as Nor'easters with hurricane force wind gusts and record snowfalls hammer Atlantic Canada.
These birds are spreading their wings, with or without the ability to fly.
Sandy beaches, shallow coves, and incredible biodiversity.
Host/adventurer George Kourounis explores the American Southwest during the Desert Monsoon. He ups the danger factor by traveling with wild atheist shock-jock R.J. Evans to track massive lightning storms which can produce bolts of up to one hundred million volts. The pair come close - too close - to dangerous electrical clouds swirling over Tucson, Sedona and Monument Valley.
The “Angry Planet” team hopes to film the natural wonders and extreme phenomena of this fascinating Central Asian country, including a spectacularly burning crater of natural gas, underground lakes, sandstorms and remnants of the dinosaurs.
In 2000, a remarkable find was made in Chihuahua, Mexico, of a spectacular cave filled with giant crystals, some over 20 meters long. But it is a intensely difficult spot to explore – with temperatures over 50 degrees C and humidity well over 100%. George leads an Explorers Club Flag Expedition into the cave, wearing special refrigerated suits and respirators to battle the extreme environment.
We break the bounds of earth, and look at the environment of space. We examine the difficulties and challenges of exploring this most challenging environment.↵ ↵George experiences some of the extreme training needed for space travel –aboard a Czech-built Albatross fighter jet, the Zero-G plane, and a centrifuge producing 6 G's of force, and witnesses the launch of a flight to the International Space Station.
Filming the volcanoes, mudpools and geysers in the geothermic wonderland of New Zealand's north island, we learn that a new island is being created by an undersea volcano 1000 miles north in Tonga. Determined to be among the first to see this “newest land on earth”, we head for the remote island by plane and boat, after various nautical mishaps, George ends up, bedraggled and clad in nothing but underwear and a lifejacket, honored to be one of the very first to explore this brand new island.
George returns to the “Fin Del Mundo” at the southern tip of Argentina, this time to sail on a Russian icebreaker to Antarctica. After braving the stormy Drake passage, he explores volcanic Deception Island, camps out in the Antarctic snow, and paddles a kayak through icebergs calved off the melting glaciers.
