Synopsis

Observe the genesis, flourishing, and ultimate decline of an island within the world's largest ocean. Millions of years are distilled into a single hour, presenting striking visions of an underwater volcano erupting; rivers of lava bursting forth beneath the waves; roads and homes swallowed by flows of molten rock. From this tumultuous origin arise coral reefs of extraordinary abundance, teeming with schools of grey reef sharks and majestic manta rays.
