Mt. Suswa - Life in a Volcano
Dir. Oliver Goetzl
Germany
Volcanos are temperamental, dangerous and deadly. Not the ideal place for wildlife. But Mt. Suswa in Kenya is a volcano like no other: it hosts a multitude of life both above and below its surface. Underground tunnels were formed thousands of years ago by rivers of lava whose outer layers cooled and solidfied while the core continued to flow. Once the fluid lava evacuated itself completely, massive subterranean tubes were left behind.
