Description:
"Riveting. The real thing...literally awesome." The Washington Post Travel around the world for a firsthand look at volcanoes - perhaps the most dazzling but destructive natural force on earth. Massive volcanic eruption can turn day into night, releasing the power of an atomic blast, spewing toxic avalanches of lava, gas, and ash. National Geographic Video transports you to some of the world's most notorious volcanoes, including Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines and Japan's Mount Unzen. Join volcanologists in their dangerous quest to forecast eruptions and save lives, putting you in the middle of the explosive excitement and human drama of VOLCANO: NATURE'S INFERNO.

National Geographic has long established itself as an authority on geography. Its strengths and weaknesses stem from the same emphasis: an educational approach. But its films today reflect a more sensational perspective. Take, for example, Volcano: Nature's Inferno. Released in 1997, it gives viewers a firsthand look at volcanoes around the world, from Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines to Japan's Mount Unzen. Music and lava surge with great effect, but the video lacks the thoughtful narrative that one familiar with National Geographic has become accustomed to and expects. Though the cinematography is dramatic, the story is disjointed. The most obvious themes covered include well-known active volcanoes, the scientists who study them, the history of volcanoes, as well as the history of volcano science. Though Nature's Inferno serves as a precursory volcano survey, it contains, possibly, too much information to adequately explain in 60 minutes. If you're craving classic National Geographic without the hype, In the Shadow of Vesuvius is an in-depth look at perhaps the most famous active volcano in the world and the effect of its eruptions. --Cristina Del Sesto

It's definitely not overflowing with educational tidbits, mainly because they talk about so many things in such a short movie. However, I showed the video following our unit on earth science, including a section on volcanoes. We took over a week to discuss the ins and outs of volcanoes.
I would never use this video to TEACH about volcanoes, but used after the students have learned about them, it's excellent. ... Read More
