The Earth is a restless machine, driven by a cycle of destruction and rebirth that spans millions of years. In this documentary, we follow geologist Nick Eyles from the soaring peaks of the Himalayas—where ancient sea fossils are trapped five miles above sea level—down through the sacred, sediment-heavy waters of the Ganges, and finally to the volcanic "furnace" of Indonesia. Discover how the relentless forces of tectonics and gravity are not only tearing down today's tallest mountains but are already hard at work forging the world’s next supercontinent. From the looming threat of earthquakes in Kathmandu to the deadly pyroclastic flows of Mount Merapi, we explore the profound link between the ground beneath our feet and the civilizations that struggle to thrive upon it.
