Description
Against a montage of cascading snow hurtling down from jagged mountain tops, we are reminded that avalanches are among the most lethal weapons in nature’s arsenal. Avalanches of snow look like graceful white clouds. Avalanches of glowing red lava and hot ash erupt from volcanoes, swirling with noxious fumes that poison the atmosphere. Avalanches of rock rush like water, destroying everything in their path. “Untamed Earth: Avalanches” reveals the mechanisms by which these forces of nature wreak havoc. In addition to lava and rock avalanches, three types of snow avalanches are profiled: the powder avalanche, with its billowing cloud of snow; the wet avalanche, where an entire mountainside of snow can give way; and the slab avalanche, in which gentle snowflakes are transformed into a driving lethal force. Stunning footage and harrowing personal tales bring us close to both the fortunate, and unfortunate, who have found themselves in the dangerous path of this beautiful but deadly force.
