Life on Fire | Ash Runners | PBS

Duration: 52:54 (Full Program)
Program: Life On Fire #105
Broadcast Date: Jan. 30, 2013

On the volcanic island of New-Britain off the coast of Papua New Guinea, a handful of animals have learned to live with the Earth’s moods. When ash from a volcanic eruption invades their habitat, the choice is simple: leave or stay and adapt. In truth, it’s not that easy, since volcanoes and their actions are unpredictable and each creature responds in its own way.
