The wild lures us in with its beauty and awe... and then pounces.

Some of the fiercest weather on the planet can be experienced at the southern tip of Argentina and Chile– the area the South Americans call the “Fin del Mundo” – the end of the world. Host George Kourounis travels to Ushuaia, Argentina, sails south on the expedition sailboat “Northanger” to round infamous Cape Horn, then climbs the spectacular but rapidly melting glaciers along the Beagle Channel.

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.

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.

George experiences the most extreme climates in North America. First he visits the hottest place on the continent – Death Valley, then the coldest – Snag, Yukon.

Avalanche danger is very high in the Rogers Pass area of the Trans Canada Highway in British Columbia. Host of Angry Planet George Kourounis travels with a variety of experts to bring down huge avalanches in the Rocky Mountains. Ski Patrollers throw hand charges to clear the slopes, the British Columbia Department of Highways uses helicopter bombing and mountaintop mortars to keep the roads safe, and the Canadian Armed Forces fire 105mm howitzers at the mountains to bring down the dangerous snow. Still, there are accidents and fatalities in the mountains. We meet Francois Desroisers, an avalanche burial victim who tells a terrible and tragic tale of a mountain disaster.

George Kourounis returns to “Tornado Alley” with three of his fellow stormchasers to see what the 2007 Storm Season will bring. He gets a birthday gift of a large Kansas tornado, then travels to Missouri to witness a string of violent thunderstorms. Heading west to Crazy Horse Mountain, the team is in place for a huge storm sweeping through the Badlands of South Dakota.

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.

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.
