TEIDE, A WORLD BORN OF FIRE

TEIDE, A WORLD BORN OF FIRE

Two hundred miles off the northwestern coast of Africa, the highest active volcano in the Atlantic Ocean gives its name to the inhospitable desert that surrounds it. It is about Teide. Its gigantic pyramidal shape rises above the raging Atlantic waters like an unassailable colossus. Teide land is a wild and a rugged place. A volcanic desert subjected to sudden temperature changes and an extreme solar radiation, capable of destroying, century after century, the most powerful mountains of petrified lava.

THE LAST VOLCANO
The documentary explores the scientific details of the last volcanic process in Europe and the most long-lasting one in the Canarian Island of La Palma.  This has been one of the more destructive volcanic eruptions in the world.   One year after the first outbreak, we see the first technical and scientific conclusions about a natural event that has transformed the geography, the society and the economy of an island already used to live with volcanos.  Experts who worked in the field share for the very first time, in this documentary, their results which will determine future volcanic studies.
