Nisyros - Volcanic Paradise | In the Shadow of Volcanoes (4/5)

The Nisyros/Kos caldera complex is one of the most menacing in the whole Mediterranean basin. The main caldera is on Nisyros, where it provides a tourist attraction and over the millennia has rendered the earth extremely fertile. There are three natural spas on the island, which attracts a small number of tourists every year. The main activities are fishing and tourism, and the active caldera, with a massive lava reservoir just three kilometers below the surface, provides spectacular mini eruptions. The caldera is just 1.5 kilometers from the main town on the island, but the whole caldera complex actually extends all the way to Kos, one of Greece’s major tourist attractions.
The volcano is extremely active and continues to eject gases. If it were to explode, the Nisyros/Kos volcano complex would wipe out the islands of the Aegean with a massive Tsunami. The East Aegean chain of volcanos stretches all along the adduction line between the Asian and African continents and has destroyed more than one Mediterranean civilization.
We follow a family of fishermen and hear the way they feel about living under the shadow of the volcano.

Millions of people around the world live under the shadow of a volcano. We have chosen five situations that are unique among the volcano communities of the world. Three in the world’s most volcanic country – Italy, one in Spain and one in Greece. In the shadow of Volcanoes is a 5-part series of documentaries about the threats volcanoes pose to communities, how the local people cope and the advantages they gain from living close to active volcanoes.
There are different kinds of volcanoes: some explosive, some that are lava domes and others that are both. Far from fleeing volcanoes, human civilisations have sought the benefits of living close to these fertile mountains, despite periodical catastrophes such as the one that struck Pompeii on October 24 79 AD and continue to destroy structures and villages on Mount Etna today.
With unique access to geologists, volcanologists, agronomists, archaeologists and civil defence operatives, as well as natural, unscripted interactions with the local people residing there, we tell the story of what it is like to live in the shadow of five volcanoes.
