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.

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.
One of the most exciting episodes of season one is “Wild Water” – our look at Great White Sharks, water-filled caves and high voltage marine action.
Dominica, the most volcanic and mountainous island in the Caribbean, is home to the Boiling Lake, a large waterfall-fed lake of furiously boiling water. Adventurer George Kourounis becomes the first person ever to traverse across the lake on a rope, risking his life to take water samples and shoot video from a place no human has ever been. He then dives to the ocean floor off the coast of the island to explore vents where the superheated water bubbles into the ocean.
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.
