Philippe Cousteau explores Yellowstone National Park, the site of a potential super-volcano. Fifty miles of magma lurks near the surface, and if it were to erupt, its ash would cover the earth and damage crops worldwide. Then, Philippe visits Meteor Crater in Arizona, the site where a meteor once struck 50,000 years ago. Next is a trip to the Hawaiian Island of Maui, where powerful telescopes search the universe for meteors that might be heading towards Earth. Part of the "Xploration Awesome Planet" series.
