Travelogue w/ Jim: The Volcanic Islands of the Eastern Atlantic Ocean
Monday June 29 at 1:30 PM
Glaciers, golden beaches, and volcanic eruptions, few regions offer such striking contrasts as the eastern Atlantic islands. This program explores the geologic drama and natural beauty of Iceland, Madeira, and the Canary Islands. From Iceland’s frozen lava fields and geothermal wonders to the lush gardens of Madeira and the desert-like coasts of Lanzarote and Tenerife, these islands attract millions of tourists each year. What they all share is a volcanic origin and the ever-present possibility of new eruptions. Join us as we journey through these unforgettable landscapes, revealing the powerful forces that created them and the vibrant cultures that call them home.
WEDNESDAY MATINEES
June 3 Wild Mountain Thyme
In the Irish countryside, two star-crossed lovers on neighboring farms

June 10 Military Wives
When their partners are deployed, a mismatched group of women on a
military base in England start a choir and try to find harmony through pop songs.
June 17 Fatherhood
A widowed new dad copes with doubts, fears, heartache and dirty
diapers as he sets out to raise his daughter on his own. Inspired by a true story.
June 24 Eat Pray Bark
Five dog owners seek help with their naughty pups from a legendary
teacher in the mountains — but it's not their furry friends who need to be trained.
