Angry Planet | Kenya

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.
