Step into the wild lands of Iceland, where fire and ice collide. Towering glaciers stretch across the mountains, their frozen rivers cracking and groaning as they move. But beneath the ice, something stirs - a deep rumble, a slow rising heat… a volcano is waking up.

In this immersive episode of Little Listens, young explorers will listen to the Earth’s heartbeat, following the journey of magma bubbling beneath the surface, breaking free in a thunderous explosion of fire and steam. Hear the howl of Arctic winds, the hiss of lava meeting ice, and the crash of glaciers carving the land. This is how Iceland is born - an island still growing, one eruption at a time.

As the land cools and the Earth falls silent once more, the volcano rests… but not forever. Close your eyes, take one last deep breath of the icy, smoke-filled air… and listen to The Volcano’s Roar.
