Volcanoes are usually seen as destructive and frightening, but they are absolutely critical to making the Earth a home for life. No force has played a more important role in creating the planet we know today.

Travelling to Ethiopia, Iceland and New Zealand, this programme reveals how the Earth's inner heat shapes our world – raising great mountains, levelling cities, creating new land, and destroying it too. Even powering the evolution of life on Earth. Without it the Earth would have become a dead planet millions of years ago.
