Kate Humble will host a BBC Two series live from an active Hawaiian
volcano this summer. She will be joined by the geologist Professor Iain
Stewart at Kilauea volcano for Volcano Live, which will be broadcast in
four parts during July 9-12. Hawaii sits on the Pacific 'ring of fire',
making it one of the most volcanic land masses in the world, and
Kilauea draws around two million visitors every year. The series will
also explore volcanic activity in Africa, Iceland and South America,
and examine the the science of earthquakes and tsunamis. Volcano Live
follows the success of other factual event shows such as Stargazing,
which drew around 4 million viewers earlier this year. Humble said:
'Presenting live television that responds to the mostly unpredictable
natural environment is never an easy thing to do, but after Lambing
Live, Spring and Autumnwatch, I've got the bug!' BBC Two controller
Janice Hadlow added that the new series would offer a rare opportunity
to see 'the forefront of cutting-edge volcanology research'. Volcano
Live is a BBC Factual Production, which is executive produced by Lisa
Ausden and series produced by Alan Holland.
  
During Stargazing Live they asked for questions from the public that
were asked by Skype, when they start asking for questions for this
programme should I ask "Was Jules Verne an amateur vulcanologist or was
he (like most people) just awed by the eruption of Karakota in the 19th
century?"
