Geologists have reconstructed the terrifying mechanism behind a massive supervolcano hidden beneath New Zealand that once buried the entire country under nine meters of ash. Around 350,000 years ago, this highly active region, known as the Taupō Volcanic Zone, triggered a catastrophic supereruption when five giant underground magma reservoirs exploded simultaneously. Today, this exact same volcanic system remains one of the most volatile and dangerous on Earth, posing a very real threat of a future global mega-disaster. Researchers have discovered that the incredibly fast buildup of molten rock before these supereruptions is far more frightening and unpredictable than previously expected. Click the video to explore the groundbreaking science behind New Zealand’s ticking geological time bomb and find out if humanity can avoid being caught off guard by the planet's next massive volcanic blast.
