How Science Works: Journey to Etna

The video explores the destructive power of volcanoes and their impact on civilization. It follows volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer and his team as they study Mount Etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes. The team uses advanced techniques to monitor volcanic activity, including thermal imaging and gas sensors. They explore lava tubes and collect samples to analyze the volcano's behavior. The video highlights the challenges of predicting eruptions and the importance of protecting communities living near volcanoes.
