Narrated by Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons, Life on Fire is an earth shattering series offering a close up look at volcanoes, providing viewers with a never seen before look at their effect on the environment around them. From the wildlife that manages to cope with the volcanic ash that invades their habitat, through to the snow-covered summits, this ambitious series paints a detailed picture of how animals and plants have learned to juggle with fire. Using the latest cutting-edge technology including ultra-high speed HD cameras and a gyro-stabilised mount fixed to a helicopter, images are brought to life, using an impressive zoom that allows viewers to get 85 times closer to any object, without pixilation.
