Wild Discovery: The Story of America's Great Volcanoes - 1995

A 1995 episode of The Discovery Channel's Wild Discovery program profiling volcanoes located in the United States. Segments include Yellowstone National Park, the 1914-17 eruption of Lassen Peak, the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, and the Modoc War fought in what is now Lava Beds National Monument in California.
The program was adapted from a VHS version of the documentary also released in 1995.

Kind of wish Discovery Channel had more of this. Wild Discovery was my childhood. Thanks to it, I had an appreciation of life outside of my little neck of the woods, and I was able to learn more and more about animals and nature from around the world, spawning a desire to learn more. Listening to that intro alone evokes nostalgia...

This is great! I've never seen a program showing all the major volcanoes in the U.S. before together with a brief history. Like!

I always associate this show with staying at my grandparents house overnight, because my folks had to work and my grandpa would have this playing during the evenings on their 1982 zenith console tv. And their crappy cable company didn’t get Cartoon Network or Nick (but did get the Disney channel back when it cost extra) but I have great ol memories learning about animals as a kid. I think I even watched this show at home too. Too bad Discovery doesn’t show stuff like this much anymore. Starting around 2007 most cable channels really started to drift away to reality shows and re-running the same shows all day long.

This show came in the mid-90s.

Craters Of The Moon, Idaho. I have been there once, but never wondered when those volcanoes erupted.

The lava beds part of this show is from another valcano documentary I know cuz I remember cuz I’ve scene it before and the lava beds part was a little longer that this one only I don’t Renee what that documentary was called would anyone here know the name of that valcano documentary?

[@allenra530]

I do wish that they would have fact checked more closely. The description of the Yellowstone eruption left out the movement of the continent over the hot spot and the previous calderas. The ash fall from Mount Saint Helens is described as soot, even though it was all finely divided rock. As sad as the story of the Modoc war is, it really has nothing to do with volcanoes, so I am not sure why it was included. Other than that, the program is quite informative.
