The “Angry Planet” team hopes to film the natural wonders and extreme phenomena of this fascinating Central Asian country, including a spectacularly burning crater of natural gas, underground lakes, sandstorms and remnants of the dinosaurs.
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.
George and three side-kicks head straight into the “Bearcage”, looking to get beat up by the biggest, baddest hailstones that Texas and Oklahoma can throw at them. They find it – and their stormchasing vehicles don't look too pretty after coming through these massive storms.
Ground Zero for host/adventurer George Kourounis‚ stormchasing is Oklahoma City, capital of North America's ´Tornado Alley´. George tracks a building storm that threatens that tough mid-western city, chases a hail storm, fights to get in the middle of a vicious dust-devil and the funky roadside Americana of the American Midwest.
The “Angry Planet” team will be tracking storms through the 2009 Hurricane season, and plan to film george as he heads into a big one.
It's dark, it's cold, there is no air to breath and everything is under extreme pressure. George begins his exploration of the deep with a well-preserved shipwreck in the st.lawrence River, then heads west to dive with undersea explorers Chris Harvey-Clark and Phil Nuyyton, and investigate the newly discovered “Black Smoker” deepsea vents. The show climaxes in Curacao, where we dive to 1000 feet aboard Nuyyton's newest submersible.
Filming the volcanoes, mudpools and geysers in the geothermic wonderland of New Zealand's north island, we learn that a new island is being created by an undersea volcano 1000 miles north in Tonga. Determined to be among the first to see this “newest land on earth”, we head for the remote island by plane and boat, after various nautical mishaps, George ends up, bedraggled and clad in nothing but underwear and a lifejacket, honored to be one of the very first to explore this brand new island.
A slow moving disaster engulfs a city under water. The Stormhunters find themselves knee deep in flood waters as historic amounts of rainfall threatens to wash them away.
