Not even close to the inferno..

Whilst this film does contain some outstanding images of volcanoes, eruptions and lava, these parts are few and far between. I was hoping for an exploration of the power and activity of volcanoes around the world, but was only given a glimpse of a few sites, with very little in terms of information about how volcanic action actually arises. This doc focuses more on worldwide spiritual views around volcanoes, with some superficial information about the effects of eruptions on our planet.
