Io: The Moon With 400+ Active Volcanoes.. (Jupiter's Deadliest Moon)

When we think of a moon, we picture a silent, dead rock frozen in the dark. But millions of miles away, locked in the crushing shadow of Jupiter, there is a world that breaks every rule. A world that is not frozen, but burning. Welcome to Io, the most volcanically active body in the entire solar system. Trapped in a deadly gravitational tug-of-war between Jupiter and its giant sister moons (Europa and Ganymede), Io is subjected to unimaginable cosmic torture. The extreme tidal forces stretch and crush the moon's solid rock every single day, melting it from the inside out to create a subterranean ocean of magma. From Loki Patera, a lake of liquid lava larger than the state of Maryland, to massive volcanic plumes shooting 300 miles into the vacuum of space, discover why Io is the ultimate cosmic nightmare. 🎶 Music & Sound Design: All music and sound effects in this video are licensed via Epidemic Sound.
