i'm at the science museum in london and here the public can come to learn about our planet's place in system. and with this incredible close—up view you get a sense of the dynamic world that we live in. the earth is governed by immense geological forces and some of these are of course volcanoes. earlier this year i went to see one of these wonders of nature for myself but i wasn't expecting such a close up encounter. an explosive reawa kening. after years of quiet, mount etna in italy started to put on a dramatic display. i was there to report on a cutting edge new project. mount etna and every volcano around the world are being monitored by satellites and they can track minute movements on the ground which show when an eruption is likely, but the technology could not foresee what was about to happen to us. we had gone to film a lava flow that had formed overnight, tourists had come to see this, too. the molten rocks so slow—moving it is usually considered safe but then this happened. a huge explosion. 0ur camerawoman filmed as steam, boiling hot rocks and lava was blown into the air,
