It is time for “Angry Planet” to do a serious desert episode. What better place to do it than this fabled city in the middle of the mighty Sahara Desert.This almost mythical place really does exist. And it really is still possible to travel there by camel caravan, riding the infamous “Ships of the Desert”. Extreme heat, dehydration, possible sand storms, frigid night temperatures and desert predators are our potential companions for the trip.
Italy is one of the very few nations in the world that regularly gets three major extreme natural phenomena – volcanos, flooding, and avalanches. Eastern flanks of the volcano to slip by up to two metres, and many houses on the flanks of the volcano experienced structural damage. The eruption also completely destroyed the Rifugio Sapienza, on the southern flank of the volcano. The Rifugio was the site of a cable car station which had previously been destroyed in the 1983 eruption both have now been rebuilt. The most recent eruption was in November 2006.
The most notorious volcanic explosion in history came from the small island of Krakatoa, off the coast of Java, The tiny island was pulverized and the giant explosion was felt half way around the world.

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!
In June of next year we plan to intercept the Monsoon as it hits southern India and makes its way north along the western shore past Goa and Mumbai up to Delhi.This most famous of torrential rainy seasons drops as much as 40 feet of water on parts of the parched sub-continent.
Definitely our wildest episode so far. Here's the deal: Mt. Elgon is an 14,000 foot volcano in eastern Kenya. We propose a safari/ascent of the dormant volcano. Here's the first kicker: High on the the flanks of the volcano is Kitum Cave – a cave created by the most unique form of erosion – Elephant Erosion. For millennia elephants have been going into the cave to carve it out with their tusks in order to eat the salty rock. Here's the second kicker: the cave is thought to be the home of the Ebola Marberg virus – the world's most deadly virus. So here's the plan: We are going enter the cave, at night, wearing full Bio-Hazard suits to protect us from the virus.
Stormchasing developed in Australia in the same period – the 1990s – as it developed in the American Midwest. In the first week of December – the height of storm season in Australia, we plan to travel with Jimmy Deguara, the most experienced of Australian stormchasers.

We have filmed extensively in Hawaii, filming big-wave surfing at the famous Banzai Pipeline on Oahu's North Shore, and filming George surfing with the “Hawaian Fire” firefighters. We have also filmed at the Hawaii Tsunami Institute and in Hilo, site of major Tsunami damage in both 1946 and 1964. We also have filmed extensively at Kilawea Volcano, filming the amazing sight of rivers and waterfalls of red hot lava flowing into the Pacific Ocean.
