A man is shown explaining how the rates of lava flows differ at different parts of the island to a group of international scientists inside a classroom. In another classroom, a group of elementary school children are shown taking part in a hands on demonstration of the destructive force of tsunamis using a model of a city near a bay.
The group of international scientists is next seen crossing a road and lava field to set up tripods for surveying equipment. Some of the scientists are also shown talking about the volcanoes from their home countries. Lastly, the scientists are once again shown trekking across lava fields.
