TED Talks - October Join us as we listen to the boiling river of the Amazon.

Twelve years later, after training as a geoscientist, he set out on a journey deep into the jungle of South America in search of this boiling water. At a time when everything seems mapped and measured, join Ruzo as he explores a river that forces us to question the line between known and unknown … and reminds us that there are great wonders yet to be discovered.
