Underwater volcano: into the abyss

In the immensity of the Pacific Ocean, tectonic movements erect or engulf islands. In the Tongan archipelago, two unknown animals have learned to live with these ephemeral lands: a seabird that never wets its wings for fear of drowning and a blind crustacean that has found its way into the abyss. When an underwater volcano turns into an island, the destinies of these living paradoxes come together.

Directors: Bertrand LOYER, Jacques BEDEL and François de RIBEROLLES

Jeremy Irons always does a great job narrating these things

Dear all, I am the director of this show (part of LIFE ON FIRE series) which was filmed in 2009, during another Hunga Tonga eruption. This volcano made the news twice since, by adding an ephemeral island in 2017, then creating the most intense eruption of the XXIst century ( so far). Obviously, the tern population has been wiped out by this activity, but, according to local sources, tend to come back and nest since last November. Not a single tree is left alive !

Excellent. A quality documentary experience with the added health benefit of zero political messaging.

The fact that it's Jeremy freakin Irons narrating this, just makes me love this channel even more

[wbrucesimpson]

Another terrific video. So much amazing undersea footage, a great storyline...you had me cheering for a shrimp and a tern?, and a gentle and informative narration. I was thinking I didn't have the time, but this was engrossing and worth every minute spent viewing.

Fascinating. Can't give enough credit to the camera crew to keep venturing to such dangerous areas.

Finally, a proper documentary. Thank you.

Much of the photography here is stunning. The shot of the tern standing on the coconut, the terns descending on the bait ball, The grey/blue filters highlighting the textures of the ocean surface. Hope this team has done other work that I can track down.

Finally a documentary without political agenda. One that doesn't push climate change into my face nor how humans are the only factor in our every changing climate.
