In the Tonga archipelago, two little-known animals have learned to cope with these ephemeral lands risen from the ocean depth: the sooty tern, a seabird that never dares wet its wings for fear of drowning and the Alvin shrimp, a blind shellfish that can find its way around the abyss. When an underwater volcano becomes an island, the fates of these two extraordinary living paradoxes are linked.

Scientists have only just begun to piece together what might have happened nearly 2,000 years ago, when one race of salmon faced the death of their natal river and were forced back to the open ocean - on an extraordinary adventure. Navigating between the sulfurous waters, bears, sharks and eagles, the fish escaped the earth's wrath to give birth to descendants that continue their pioneering journey to the heart of an active volcano.

Underground, vampire and other bat species have colonized the miles of tunnels created by hot flowing magma. In the crater - once filled by a giant lava lake, parakeets and vultures have made their nests on cliffs exposed to toxic gases. On the flanks of this still active mountain, the vegetation has been burnt away by lava flows leaving long barren stretches that are recolonized over hundreds of years, beginning with the lowly lichen and ending in flourishing forest. At the foot of the volcano, fields, pastures and towns have now grown over the oldest lava flows. In this harsh environment, nature struggles to conquer ash and lava before the next eruption erases its efforts ... and the phoenix must rise again.

Released: 2011 Genre: Documentary Directed by: Jacques Bedel, François de Riberolles Cast: Theodore Atkin, Jeremy Irons About the film: Almost a year ago, the Icelandic volcano Eyafjallajokull had widespread economic disruption caused by paralyzing one of the densest airline network in the world for several days. Yet there was a rash of small amplitude, other volcanoes are much more powerful now ready to wake up in Iceland. Through spectacular aerial images of that country which is only a pile of ash and lava, craters and a maze of fault, this film tries to understand what may be the next volcano to wake up and what can be the consequences of a major eruption. Europe comes to realize that in Iceland sleeps a colossal power, the Icelanders themselves, have learned to live among their volcanoes for centuries.
