We have filmed extensively in Hawaii, filming big-wave surfing at the famous Banzai Pipeline on Oahus 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.
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 worlds 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 Councils 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.
