Great Climate Catastrophes

Nowhere else in the world than in the Dolomites the huge disasters of Earth´s history can be traced back. 300 million years ago entire continents were devastated by forest fires, 250 million years ago volcanic eruptions almost eradicated all life. Not so long ago, ice ages buried all life under thick ice sheets. And today we are struggling with climate change. Impressive testimonies and films illustrate the change of landscape.
