Life on Fire (2010)

Episode Overview

In the expansive stretch of the Pacific Ocean, the shifting tectonic plates create and erase islands. Within the Tongan archipelago, two obscure creatures have adapted to these fleeting landscapes: the sooty tern, a seabird that avoids getting its wings wet to escape the risk of drowning, and the blind Alvin shrimp, which skillfully navigates the depths of the ocean. When an underwater volcano rises to form an island, the destinies of these two remarkable beings become intertwined.
