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.

Mount Washington, New Hampshire has the dubious title of being home to the world's worst weather. The highest wind ever recorded on the planet – 231 miles per hour – was recorded at its mountaintop observatory. To prepare for a mid-winter assault on the summit, Angry Planet host George Kourounis becomes a “human popsicle”, encased in ice in at the National Resarch Council's high speed wind tunnel. 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.
Three explorations into the wild water that makes up over 70% of our angry planet. First, George travels to Guadaloupe Island off the coast of Mexico to dive with 16 foot Great White Sharks. He then uses drysuit and kayak to retrace the explorations of Tom Woodward into a flooded Northern Ontario cave in the middle of winter, then jetboats into the world's biggest Class VI whitewater rapids in the Niagara River.
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.
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.
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.
