Angry Planet | Wild Weather of 2005

2005 saw some of the wildest weather in the history of the planet. Host/adventurer George Kourounis tracks twisters through the Tornado Alley of Oklahoma and Texas, descends into the Erte Ale Volcano in the Danakil Depression of Ethiopia (the world's hottest place), and then witnesses Hurricane Katrina destroying the town of Gulfport, Mississippi, from a steel-reinforced bunker facing the debris-strewn beachfront.

Angry Planet | Fire and Water

With summer wildfires overpowering the Yukon forests, host/adventurer George Kourounis follows the fabled route of the Klondike Gold Rush sourdoughs through the bawdy town of Skagway, Alaska, paddling the white water rivers and the White Horse Rapids into the Yukon. He travels on mountain bike, steam train and Cessna to experience the huge fires and meet the northern fire crews battling the blazes.

Angry Planet | Volcanic Wedding

Host George Kourounis has braved many terrifying phenomena – but none as frightening as the one he takes on in this episode: marriage! To make sure his new bride is on the same adventurous page with him, he proposes to get married on the lip of an exploding volcano, on the South Pacific island of Tanna, in Vanuatu. Before the native preacher, dressed in grass skirt and kustom garb, gets to perform the smoky vows, George descends into the erupting volcano to bring out red hot samples of the lava it is producing.

Angry Planet | Avalanche

Avalanche danger is very high in the Rogers Pass area of the Trans Canada Highway in British Columbia. Host of Angry Planet George Kourounis travels with a variety of experts to bring down huge avalanches in the Rocky Mountains. Ski Patrollers throw hand charges to clear the slopes, the British Columbia Department of Highways uses helicopter bombing and mountaintop mortars to keep the roads safe, and the Canadian Armed Forces fire 105mm howitzers at the mountains to bring down the dangerous snow. Still, there are accidents and fatalities in the mountains. We meet Francois Desroisers, an avalanche burial victim who tells a terrible and tragic tale of a mountain disaster.
