Follow the story of 65 millions years of evolution around a volcanic hotspot in the Indian Ocean. Discover how a lava gush flooded an area as large as France, partially caused the demise of dinosaurs but also helped the emergence of mammals and new life forms. These geological regions known as large igneous provinces (LIPs) can appear anywhere and cause massive havoc for life.
