team of volcanologists
headed by dr. Kusuke Kamo.
Vigilance is a way of life
in a country with
more than 50 active volcanoes
and more than 10,000 earthquakes
every year.
In the great Tokyo earthquake of 1923
more than 140,000 people perished
mostly from the fires
started by the quake.
Today the people of Tokyo
are part of a national
earthquake preparedness program
designed to save thousands of lives.
Buildings are structurally
engineered to survive
the tremendous forces generated
by earthquakes.
No people on earth are as prepared
for natural disaster as the japanese.
Humans are not the only primates
adapted to life on the ring of fire.
Heat from volcanic sources
warms the hot springs of Nagano
allowing the japanese snow monkey
to survive as the world's
most northerly species of monkey.
In Beppu, people have
also learned to live
with volcanic powers,
harnessing their
geothermal energy for health
and relaxation.
The therapeutic hot springs
of Kirishima...
and the lava sand baths of Beppu
have become popular health spas.
A respite from the relentless
pace of modern life
which, in Japan, is always
just a step away.
3,000 miles southwest,
where the ring of fire
crosses the equator
buddhas keep watch
over the volcanoes of Indonesia
at the temple of Borobudur.
Writer/anthropologist Lawrence Blair
has lives in Indonesia for many years
studying the ancient bond between
its volcanoes and its people.
The temple of Borobudur...
it was built in
this highly unstable valley
to commemorate
the achievement, not of
architectural engineering
but of serene harmony
in the human heart.
For 10 centuries, it has survived
earthquakes and eruption
which have long since eclipsed
the enlightened empire which built it.
For Indonesia is the most fertile
and eruptive nation on the planet.
Perhaps the long memory of
a shifting, unstable earth
has taught the indonesians
to rely less
on the physical world
than on the unseen forces behind it.
Deep within the crater of
the notorious volcano
of Kawah Idgen, there are those who
seek their living directly from
the cauldrons of hell.
For here is a rare surface
source of pure sulfur
to be mined by hand and
borne on their backs
for 15 miles down the volcano's slopes.
Within their lungs
the poisonous fumes
turn into sulfuric acid
condemning them to a life of
less than 30 years.
Still they accept Kawah Idgen's terms
grateful for the volcano's gift
confident of their destiny
beyond this world of shadows.
On the indonesian island of Bali
towers the sacred volcano
of Gunung Agung.
"The Navel of the Universe."
Worshippers still climb the flanks
