In a place like no other, where fire and water meet, the battle for
survival rages on. Stromboli is an island in the Mediterranean and one
of the most active volcanoes on the planet. Lava and debris constantly
pour into the sea. But this doesn’t phase the common octopus. We now
bring the species’ never-before-told struggle for life to the screen.
Males fight to the death over females; a mother strives to protect her
young. And if they can survive the harsh environment and sharks,
countless shipwrecks and fishing nets provide unusually rich hunting
grounds. With an arsenal of underwater equipment and cameras, we follow
filmmaker Natali Tesche and the scientists working to uncover the
secrets of how the octopus manages to thrive here. This stunning High
Definition special will transport you to another dimension, as we dive
deep below… Octopus Volcano.
