Volcanoes have shaped our landscapes, our history, and even life itself. In this episode of The Tilted Planet Podcast, we journey deep into the fiery heart of Earth to uncover the science, power, and mystery behind these awe-inspiring forces of nature.

Along the way, we’ll look at some of the world’s most famous volcanoes from Italy’s Vesuvius to Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull, and the lessons they’ve taught us about living on a restless planet.

Join me as we peel back the layers beneath the crust and tilt our perspective on the powerful world of volcanoes!
