Most of the islands born of the Mid-Atlantic ridge are magnets for wildlife, but Ascension is so barren it has been called "hell with the fires put out."

About Atlantic: Fire in the Ocean:
Running down the centre of the Atlantic is a vast chain of volcanic mountains, 10,000km long - the mid-Atlantic Ridge. As underwater volcanoes erupt, they create new seafloor - but occasionally eruptions are big enough to rise above the surface as tiny, isolated islands. Born of fire, these islands teem with life forms found nowhere else on earth.

On this journey, we'll explore the natural history of these remote Atlantic islands, from Iceland in the north to those fringing Antarctic in the south.
