Beneath The Surface

The volcanic threat facing an Icelandic village.

Beneath The Surface On the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland, a dormant threat looms over the lives of 4,000 residents and the future of this stunning region. Since the Fagradalsfjall volcano last erupted 800 years ago, the Earth has reawakened in 2019, with escalating seismic and volcanic activity gripping the area. The small fishing village of Grindavik now faces the imminent danger of being buried under lava if an eruption occurs—a scenario experts consider highly plausible. The documentary intimately follows various residents of the village over several months, capturing their emotions and experiences in this unprecedented situation.
