Discover the answers to these questions and more, and learn about the inner workings of one of Earth's most terrifying natural phenomenon in Eye Wonder: Volcanoes. A precursor to DK's award-winning Eyewitness series, Eye Wonder was specially developed for children aged five plus, featuring astonishing photography exhibiting subjects within their natural setting offering a whole new level of information through powerful images.
