The film accompanies Ludmilla Ossipenko on her breathtaking expedition through the land of fire-spitting mountains.

No other place on earth has such a high number of volcanoes as the Russian peninsula Kamchatka.

Ludmilla Ossipenko knows every single one of these 160 volcanoes. She has been working for the "Volcanic Institute of Kamchatka" for 9 years. She gets flown by helicopter to the fire-spitting craters of volcanoes or deep into the valley, where 8 mighty geysers spout water from the earth.

But Ossipenko's favorite spot is the 'Chaldera Uson' basin, a gateway to the underworld with boiling lakes, mud volcanoes and a unique fauna and flora.
