World Premiere
In 2018, the lower Puna in Hawaii erupted, creating a surreal world of lava and fire as it destroyed forests, lakes, gardens, highways and more than 700 homes. National Geographic photographer Carsten Peter was there to capture it. In this short film, words aren’t necessary. The images of flowing rock, white-hot rivers, belching magma and glimmering fissures speak volumes about the forces at the center of the Earth.
