Miners in Chihauhau, Mexico, has just discovered an amazing sight. Deep in the earth, only 300 feet from a pocket of molten magma, is an amazing chamber filled with giant blue and pink crystals – some as big as 60 feet long! It is an extraordinary find – and one that is very difficult to witness, as temperatures run to 150 F, with 100% humidity. The Mexican authorities are only opening up the cavern to scientists and film crews – “Angry Planet” plans to be one of the first in!
We hope Season Two will give us the opportunity to make the quintessential Angry Planet show – a full episode exploring a major hurricane that makes landfall in Florida or the Carolinas.

He then dives to the ocean floor off the coast of the island to explore vents where the superheated water bubbles into the ocean.

Then he and his sidekick Mark Robinson climb to the top of the mountain in mid-January and brave their way into a summit blizzard.
