Angry Planet

- Season 2

(2008)

Accompanied by a group of hardcore cavers from Alberta and British Columbia, George descends into spectacular caves that lead deep into the earth on Vancouver Island. The team carries inflatable kayaks to explore a dark underground river.

Linking up with legendary storm chaser Jim Leonard, George flies to Jamaica to track Hurricane Dean. George then travels to Nova Scotia to experience the even bigger turmoil of Hurricane Noel at the iconic Maritime village of Peggy's Cove.

In the Florida Keys, George uses a motorboat, a van and small plane to get up close to waterspouts - the nautical cousins of tornadoes. He also meets some of the 25 million alligators that live in the Sunshine State.

In Hawaii George explores the wild side: diving with Galapagos sharks, ascending to snow-covered Mauna Kea, dental cleaning by Peppermint Cleaner Shrimp, extreme surfing at Banzai Pipeline, getting his boots lit on fire by Kilauea volcano.

In Australia George teams up with storm chaser Jimmy Deguara to witness summer storms in the outback. While in Oz, he dives the magnificent Great Barrier Reef, and explores just how painful is the sting of the venomous Box Jellyfish.

George meets ultra-marathon runners in searing heat of Death Valley and bone-chilling cold of the Yukon. He dog-sleds in snow and meets wild characters like Caveman Bill, who has lived alone in a cave through 12 long cold Yukon winters.

In Italy, George studies avalanches of Dolomite Mountains, meets engineers who keep Venice from sinking, and heads South to explore Italy's explosive volcanoes: Vesuvius, Etna and Stromboli.

On Canada's rugged West Coast, George ice-climbs a frozen waterfall, uses ski-skins to climb Mt.Garibaldi to an alpine lake, visits a storm-watching lodge on British Columbia's Long Beach, home of winter surfing and massive Pacific storms.

George meets President of Iceland Ólafur Grímsson who spearheaded use of geothermal power; visits Blue Lagoon and geysers; explores volcanically active Haimaey Island and climbs an iceberg calving off the glaciers at Vatnajokull Lagoon.

Dust storms can spin off from Africa into the Atlantic and morph into tropical hurricanes that threaten the Caribbean and USA. While searching for Timbuktu's dust storms, George finds adventure in the landscape and culture of West Africa.

In India's monsoon season George wades through waist-deep water in Bombay and leach-filled waterfalls in Goa, finds people being swept away by rivers, and rebuilding bridges. He experiences an intense annual Hindu celebration.

In the Pacific Ring of Fire island of Java, George explores new ash eruptions from Anak Krakatau, whose 1883 eruption shook the world. He travels to Merapi and descends into Kawah Ijen to explore the world's largest lake of sulfuric acid.

In Indonesia George visits massive Komodo Dragons, explores steaming sulfur vents of Papandayan, visits villagers whose town got swept away by Sidoarjo Mudflow, and tackles his toughest climb to date - the very active Semeru Volcano.
