Europe is not a finished continent. Built by tectonic collisions between Africa, Asia, and North America, it is still being pulled apart, lifted, fractured, and shaken by forces deep beneath the Earth.
From Iceland’s widening rift to the rise of the Alps, from the dried-out Mediterranean to Mount Etna, the Gulf of Corinth, and the North Anatolian Fault near Istanbul, this documentary follows scientists tracking the forces that continue to reshape Europe. Volcanoes, glaciers, caves, earthquakes, salt deposits, and ancient seafloors reveal a continent still in motion, and still exposed to the power that created it.
