Iceland Volcano Eruption premieres on 14th May at 8 pm KSA / 9 pm UAE only on National Geographic Abu DhabiThe devastating eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull in mid-April brought mass disruption to the skies over Europe, shutting down European airspace and stranding hundreds of thousands of air passengers around the world. Moreover, the massive eruption caused extensive evacuations, major flooding, and a plume of ash 9,000 metres high. As news crews frantically monitored the ash cloud’s progress and reported on stranded tourists and business travellers, a National Geographic film crew were on the ground in Iceland. They documented the dramatic events unfolding at the scene before, during and after the volcano’s eruption on 20th March and the second, larger eruption on 14th April. This crew was the only one to cover the story from the beginning, securing incredible, unparalleled footage of the volcano as it was erupting. This incredible footage is featured in Iceland Volcano Eruption, premiering in the region on 14th May at 8pm KSA / 9pm UAE on National Geographic Abu Dhabi. The crew’s work was fraught with danger – as they filmed next to the enormous crater spewing fire and ash, every 10 minutes a gigantic sonic boom hit, rocking them to the core. |
