S1 E1: Volcanic eruptions are very rare compared to the duration of a human life. Only indications of passed catastrophes can give us a clue what could happen in future. An epidemic in Europe, traces of sulphur found in the ice of Greenland and a mysterious lake at the far end of the world - could a volcano tie all these things together? Scientists reconstruct catastrophes of the past and explain the power of the stone giants. Is a high-tech and complex community better equipped for such a case of disaster? Today scientists have an idea of the processes that happen in earth’s interior. They hope to find indications for the next eruption. However, it remains impossible to reliably predict an eruption. The only thing we can do is to be prepared for what could happen to civilization if the sleeping giants awake.
