Each episode of the series is dedicated to exploring different corners of the world and showcasing the raw power of nature, from hurricanes and tsunamis to earthquakes and volcanoes. The series aims to raise awareness of the forces of nature that can have a devastating impact on the planet.

Kourounis, known for his daring feats, takes viewers on a wild ride, experiencing extreme weather conditions that many have never seen before. The show also highlights the impact that human activity has on our planet, showcasing the damage that we are doing to our environment.

He took samples of the molten lava and worked with scientists to analyze them, learning about the minerals that make up the Earth's crust.
