The Modern City That Was Buried By a Volcano

Season 2 Episode 11

In the 1990s, an entire city in the Caribbean vanished under ash. Plymouth, Montserrat, once vibrant, now lies frozen in time—buried by a volcano still simmering beneath the surface. We explore how this community has endured, and how scientists are racing to uncover the volcano’s secrets before it erupts again.
