Show Notes

Islands of Fire: How Volcanoes Shaped the Ancient Caribbean Map explores how volcanic forces built the islands of the Lesser Antilles and influenced the earliest movements of people across the region. Through a field-based narrative, the series follows the birth of volcanic peaks, the migrations shaped by eruptions, and the ways ancient Caribbean communities interpreted the earth’s signals. It also examines how volcanic ash evolved into fertile soil that supported early agriculture. This is a grounded, cultural history account that connects geology, archaeology, and human resilience.
