Australia is home to some of the deadliest predators in the world. The island continent is notorious for playing host to the most venomous snakes, and the deadliest crocodiles, spiders, and jellyfish.

Great storms, extreme heat, and an epic cycle of boom and bust shape Australia. Life on the island continent has evolved accordingly, to survive drought and flooding rains.

More than any other place on Earth, Australia is a land shaped by fire. As the firestorms that threaten Australia intensify, people must use science and new technology to stay safe in the future.
