Over 500 million people live near active volcanoes – between fertile soil and constant danger. Photographer Ulla Lohmann travels to places where the earth spews fire. She tells the stories of people around the world who live with volcanoes and provides insights into extreme expeditions that have taken her to the edge and even deep into the craters of these powerful forces of nature, where no one has gone before. Experience breathtaking images, personal stories and a journey to the origin of life with a behind-the-scenes look at the expedition and the difficulties encountered when rappelling into an active volcano with 1200-degree hot lava, toxic gases and lots of loose rock.
