Join them just an arm's length away from a fiery blast as they risk their lives to document the birth of a volcano. Be a part of this daring team and witness the unforgettable power of the earth in Volcano!

National Geographic DVD Exclusives

National Geographic is happy to present our award-winning programming for the first time ever on a digital DVD-R format. Available exclusively through this site, you can now own more of our award-winning specials and documentaries on a high quality DVD format.

DVD-R Format

How our DVDs and DVD-Rs Differ

Customers who purchase programs in the NG DVD Exclusives Library will receive a non-interactive, play only disc. There is no chaptering information on these DVDs; however, there are chapter marks that are set approximately every 5 minutes, which makes it easy to fast forward through a program. The DVD-R format provides the digital video and audio quality you expect from all of our DVDs.
