Another entertaining space documentary, that does a good job of zooming us around different planets and moons to explore the different forms and varieties of volcanoes - including cryovolcanoes at the edge of the solar system:

Horizon, 2017: Space Volcanoes
 
* I have bookmarked that Horizon prog for later(y)

You remind me of a documentary I watched a couple of years ago (name escapes me right now), discussing one of Jupiter's inner moons - Io.

It has over 500 active volcanoes and is an extremely unstable and inhospitable planet, and plays hosts to one of the largest volcanoes in the Solar System - Prometheus, and is over 17 miles in diameter!

Fascinating stuff!
