Please note: this episode of the Fact Detectives was recorded just before the recent eruption of the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai volcano in Tonga. The Fact Detectives team is keeping the people of Tonga, and others affected by the eruption, in our thoughts at this difficult time.

What is a volcano? Are there any volcanoes in Australia? Could lava take over the whole world? 

In this episode, Anika and Dexter catch up with Oskar Lindenmayer who is a geologist at Melbourne Museum. Join them as they bubble into all the boiling hot facts about volcanoes!
