the right, coming up next, on the general, a documentary about germany's volcanic life will bridge and that's coming off after a short break. don't forget there's plenty more use at the w dot com at any time he wants us. and on takes and instagram the handle. we need is at the top of the needs and thoughts get on youtube channel as well. for now, i'm anthony housing, but then i'll be back in 45 minutes with another whole isn't stay with us. if you can, the then we've been coined is great for investing the theme, the fees. everyone here just wants to get into bit coming because then known as bits. cortnero's investors from all of the amazing to last in america in such a bitcoin treasure know it is the cryptic currency value more high as you've been here. bits going in less than america starts november 8th on dw,

the volcanic, i sold a landscape forged and fire shaped fine for some elemental forces, deep underground, huge glowing chunks of rock. ash that covered everything in minutes and foamed a one of the kind landscape. the volcanoes fell silent some 10000 years ago, but they're only sleeping, the ease, something brewing deep below the surface of the i. so how great is the danger that the volcanoes will roll back to life? the, the, the, in the east,

if the volcanic eiffel near under. now, the forces looking benita, you showed themselves the cold water goes up the highest in the world, the every 2 hours the water jet erupt reaching up to 60 meters in. yeah. the going so leaks explains mineralogy, thorsten lumber, that's the fuzzy. that's your guys' deals page guys, a rupture needs you name. i thought just as age of old kind of corruption is unique . i thought that the rupture unleashes powerful volcanic forces deep

beneath the sol as carbon dioxide from the fluid. magma meets the ground water. more and more, c o 2 bubbles, collect 350 meters below the surface. when it finally erupt, the entire water column is propelled upward. yes, this one is the ponds in it, but that's gone. yeah, you can really see and feel the whole volcanic process of these pieces that helps you understand the pressure and power behind it and then shoot another volcano erupt in the eiffel. who binds you, an ice tunnels, pressing the foot. when will that happen? the volcanoes of life will, will low thoughts extinct. now we know that only dormant deep underground the colder and is still bubbling the

traces of the last incident of a still clearly visible today. at 1st glance, lake last is a tranquil body of water. but it was created by the most powerful volcanic eruption in recent central european geological history. 13000 years ago, the states traces can be found on the nearby. vien gets big fund, the amended, the geologist goes to huffman. as phone university, the will is a window into the distant past. the launcher for that's a 1000 johns are 13000 years ago. and this landscape didn't look fundamentally different from today. and then suddenly there was this explosion, 2 of hurled ash and trucks, some 40 to 50 kilometers into the atmosphere. the,

the mass either option lasted several weeks as 1000 degrees celsius magma, mesa, ground water reservoir. the of the mountain top above was blown off by an explosion and steam as a huge column of ash with catapulted columbus is up into the at the other one is these are at some point this column collapsed on red hot ash rushed through the landscape along the valleys and through the brother valley, for instance, when it reached the rhine river, which already existed fact then which cut the river off the ash and debris swept over everything and left behind a blanket, several meters deep, th,

and stepped on. it's for the fringes of what kind of pools. i'm just all stone. describe this whole kind of corruption from the rhine and create as a recivore around what is known if you today is the logic of dominance. at some point that broke the hunters and others settled in the area experienced to catastrophes and one lifetime pump. oh, school's 1st slow tonight and i felt kind of corruption and then a gigantic quarter search that went all the way down the ryan valley into today's netherlands. the as the blue products flood zone done with this default kind of explosions. and i thought it was more an explosion than interruption. this explosion, 13000 jews ago, left us traces is poor and you can see them on the wall here as, as rose. these are, this is like a history book and we can study of the centrally read had this volcanic explosion

happened at all for each single layer. there's like a high resolution snapshots of an individual phase of the russian hill to the postman. regularly leads groups of scientists through here. the layers of the will reveal the stages of the volcanic eruption. it doesn't say english this year, no matter why. so. so and what's crazy is that switching there usually shows several tens of thousands of years with a few bonds. even here we have a 13 meter cross section that represents a few weeks at the most. this is just a few minutes. this single there is a collapse in cloud november's, or any kids are saying, oh see if i pull the stone notes, this is i'm going to can, so it's not i'm done. so we n a we night with the rad blue mineral expelled from the mcmahon.

the eiffel is one of the most important sites for routine, the weld. okay. yeah. let me know if you look at it's under a magnifying glass, it's really beautiful. the vin gets bad vans. he's part of the unesco volcanic eiffel gee, or punk hoffman and he's team and developing an app to allow virtual travel through the volcanic landscape. everything is precisely scanned and measured the new parking tom. i assume we're using the volcanic eiffel jewel part as a reference model, as the very 1st jewel park in germany, that's offers a completely digital turning package and all points of interest in this box can be viewed and the saw them to get the app works with super precise satellite data, much more exact than basic navigation or hiking apps,

the $100.00, again, it is a one to the money and we want to map the while back there and 3 d dot for to do this. you need a lot of photos on the right image processing software. if the drone can get close enough, you can get a good 3 d image. comes on the data, one of the the drone can also reach sections of the will that otherwise difficult to access the, the camera scans at high resolution. so the computer can later generate a detailed image the, the various layers in the world are especially interesting,

and they consist mainly of pumice and tufts interspersed with rock fragments drank, stopped by the volcanic eruption, the dusky on every aspect. once in the thing, it's backbone shows all the settlements, this fall kind of corruption on earth. and it's been geologically proven that there were different interruption phases. you have to imagine it's not like an exploding powder cake, but like several atomic bombs on it. and that's how powerful the home them so dentist, a lot of the big i know it's always cool as long as the so what i'm the punished we country allowed to fresher russian only class or other volcanic structures here in the life of us. and we can only hope that would be enough warning by the for example in the form of earthquakes warms one that we don't want to paint to har. scenario bush of what happened. 13000 years ago happened again today in a densely populated region like the rhineland unfitness,

the truth would be catastrophic. i learned to miss cutoff safari, large cities like phone, industrial plants and refineries. the rhineland chemical belt, cologne, with mold and a 1000000 people. how can the region possibly protect itself from such a natural disaster? the federal academy for civil protection and disaster assistance. b, a, b k in the valley generates scenarios cause such disasters. professor klaus right you to is researching possible consequences of a fresher option of the lake loc volcano to look able to on. so i only gave them detail it would be a very high eruption column design of the app, which would be closed off immediately. and be like

a landing simply would the possible good. then you'd have to see how far and how quickly the rushing cloud spreads, depending on the wind direction to move into the legal size and the fonts. and we'd have to consider whether birds were still usable with a critical infrastructure like trains and the power grid still worked. community setting vehicles may be able to drive on the free ways to evacuate people, but then things would get difficult. there are no other escape routes as you get exist in the problem is that in strongly con to landscapes like the valley or he in the eiffel people have settled in the valleys and so there are only 2 ways out and forwards and backwards. there is no other option, so i have egos to come full until they can assign speed studies. the dispute is in the science, i'll talk to you depending on where we uh,

they will probably be casualties as well for that. so indeed to hospital is must be prepared for this specific types of injuries. that volcanic eruptions can cause cause especially bones or stuff. so they have to have dedicated burn unit, but they also need specialized units for the se amputations and emergency surgical procedures. if that would be necessary after enough quick via the businesses, unless he does nobody the that is it even possible to prepare for such a disaster? the people who humans playing the order for executive ation plans or rules of conduct? what people should do in a specific situation. that's difficult, right now. there are no plans in place like that. that may be a mistake, but i don't think it's absolutely necessary yet. unlike with flooding,

volcanic eruption allows more response time because it's less than the outside. volcanic eruptions come with ample warning in the form of trim is a gas emissions at lake law. it's easy to forget that the ground below has still not settled. the old volt kinda creates a, is a unique natural paradise the but at the lake's east and show there is still signs of volcanic activity, mo, fence carbon dioxide bubbling up through the war. so the nearby, the jersey would spill to study and recreation homes. a young monk, c, 1970, when 8 of them died inexplicably gas emissions from the lake. so what blamed

the the young man were buried on the grounds of today's maria last abbey. in the creek on the one of the smaller chapels with the monks really is fixated, has never been confirmed the foot professor hoffman and his team of geologist. the lake is of great interest the most fits are important to better understand volcanic activity in the eiffel. and to observe any changes the to, and viewers and shop levers interesting to a g,

a scientist. the system affects show that there is still a volcanic activity here. and it's not only ever molten rock that comes out of the ground just involved in the it's mostly gas costs. and this is why the amount of escaping gas is continuously monitored. the trinity it seems which jack and gas if we still have gas emissions increasing, which would be assigned that there is activity underground, perhaps indicating a coming boat kind of corruption. how scorpion going today? we know that the gas bubbles and mostly carbon dioxide, escaping from huge magnet chambers about 40 kilometers on the ground. but what does that tell us? does the gas come from the magma the russian broad, full, 13000 years ago? which is still slowly cooling. is fresh magma forming

under the lake. a new study involving researches from several gym and institutes raises these question. numerous weak trim is a great depth indicate that magma easy motion, but they're in those to the signal. so i thought that the volcano was preparing for another eruption the, the west. the famous mugs are evidence of how volcanoes shaped the landscape of the deep fines of the eiffel divine failed mon you down is locally cold, the month of the dead. because of the neighboring symmetry with its closed crate to ring the pool, the amount is the deepest at more than 70 meters. it seems bush unless

the the sofa told her so cloudy, a v by gibbet. the shelton marin ma is the most beautiful. she is published a book of underwater photos from the crater lakes, which she worked on for years. the fact there under the trees, there are always fish on one side. i can to take there because i smoke perch always hide under the trees among the branches. that's nice too. i'm always happy to see the task that she comes here again and again, even when the temperature is dropping, the full. but it's the very special under water. well,

the iphone mines that fascinates the most the below the surface, the water of the mazda is still remarkably clear. the method, the season at this time of year, the water is only 10 degrees celsius. in winter it goes down to 3 or 4 degrees. the

what happens would assume that it's in the kazi, sometimes it feels like the caribbean because of the turquoise blue water fall off . and there are so many fish in official. if you just float quietly, they will swim right by you by common. and when you die kinds button page by car and tension the hatch, there's really a lot to do. as a smoker, she left it says in down here flora and phone a bound. although most of the most have no regular water in float. this said solely by rain morsa, which 1st sleeps through volcanic rock, lay as before flowing into the ma. well filtered and clean, the lesson is done. yeah, that's fine. so what fascinates me is the depth of some of them are supposed to be . the programmer is 17 meters deep. and the shocking miramar is 35 meters deep on

ones. you can get a feel for it. steps at the creature room when you see how the sharp drop continues under the short i will for one, what we need to be aware that it could go off at any time. that's just the way it is. and so, so the, and that's all the last direction was 12 or 13000 years ago. scientists say one should occur roughly every 10000 years. so in fact, we're overdue, the mazda in volcanic tongues, grace the landscape within magical ch um and to test to the fiery past of the volcanic going. so the

volt, and it can give it to you still every way. even if it's not always a parent at 1st glance, the in the volcanic going full region, the earth's surface is rising by about one millimeter a year. even more in some places. these can only be measured from high in the air. what's causing this? is that the gas is rising from the magnet chambers, deep underground pool, hot springs, the when the food comes to the only full traces of possible kind of captivity can be found. in the topography of the landscape. a bustle, colin's rise from some of the numerous volcanic cones. often hicks, i can know the figures which shaped thousands of years ago during a volcanic eruption when hot lava escaped and then slowly cooler.

the in the quarries of the volcanic eiffel lava best sold has been mined for centuries . as here near the village of strewn in the past, the hard stone was used for building houses and paving roads. even the banks of the rhine were fortified with 6 sided bustled columns. today the stone is mostly crushed into gravel and grits bene down is the most, are strewn stone. he manages the b corey, and knows the long history of the place for you in the eyes are solid and beyond. there were 3 big of options here, 34000 years ago of this concept, and this whole valley filled up with lava follicles. the geologists are still looking for the old of back valley down here,

and then also does the others left off the the lava flows solidified and phone the wide. so is he made a thick layer of basso. here's the funds of the companies there. for example, you can tell the difference, and down below you can see the bus on flare and further up pretty quickly where it gets more reddish. you can see that there are a lot of asking, and although you can really tell that there is a par to good just like back there, that's the bustle to there. you can see the love of the 1969, cory workers stumbled across a sensation. a blast released a huge rock formation from the corey will 15 meters up the head 1st. they weren't sure what they were looking at. a cool sample cleared it up. it was a gigantic lava boom that had been flung out of the volcanic crater.

the strong love of them was discovered back there and just laid there for some time . finally, they were just a policy of strong decided they wanted it. then the question was, how to get this thing over there? it weighs 120 tons to them. how do you move the stone, measuring almost 5 meters across over the fields from the quarry to the village? we don't watch the wind, there's one up on up the largest piece. it didn't mean deadlines and obviously they waited until the ground had frozen over the winter with the eyes and stuff into the 5. then they welded big iron plates together and rolled the bomb onto them. when i thought did i, that should be, it took a large caterpillar and a bulldozer, crushing from behind to move the boulder and across the field to where they wanted . it decided though, i'm a single drop off but

with the joint real come from the cool sample revealed that the lava bone consisted of many layers that had built up one after the other. around a cool like an onion. the lava bomb was probably flung upwards during the a rupture and then repeatedly rolled back into the crater of the active volcano. in the process, it became sick and stick before it was finally encased in molten lava, where it remained until it was exposed in the quarry the today it's the main attraction of the smooth village. drone shot volcanic stone from the ice region was covered to building material as early as the middle ages. the maria la abbey was built mainly as of dog bustled and light

tough. the boston cathedral tough is even found on the tight sided central structure. the famous caroline, gee, and octagon, the v. tenix stone from the nearby only only field was also shipped along the rhine to help build cologne's cathedral and ice old tough was continually used for repair with brave men from the mineral rich village of vi been helped of the 19 o one a railroad line was built now popular with tourists, as the vote con,

express, disproved the stone, like tough thomas and bustled to the rhine at the winter hub or in bruise, it was then loaded onto the ships a lifeline. so the iso and a stroke of luck for the village. a vibe in whitfield county, corruptions full 100000 years ago, deposited a massive layer of tough perfect building materials for churches. the tough is light and easy to work with the flu. the same. if you look back from the 19th century onwards, at the construction of cathedrals and volts were being, you realize this is ideal material lightweight, an able to bet heavy load just thought a nice, why is the humans but ideal for the slender arches

stretching toward the heavens. the worlds of ham, but also built with tough from vibe in the stone masons, gave the stone and its characteristic surface texture with him is she's those and which is a f o r y o for the q and shit. the do for the corey was also the production site in the stone was still dumped when it was brought to the store house on longer and then clicked into rough sizes for the stone masonry steinmetz situation. extortion through yourself. i hope to, at the start of the 20th century mold in 1200 stonemason is what the tough from 5 bins both are real boom to the small village. troops gushed each by a tough is a soft stone made up of solidified default kind of ash,

depending on where they are found. the layers can be course, are quite fine. good guns, pine wood, country showers, that he does eat among the number of houses here, where you can see that the masters and the cory owners had the money to have a lover. it's for sides both on the i'll send you a buzz on the vibe and was able to afford its own water and sewer network earlier than on the villages and had electricity as early as 1915. but the demand for tough fell from the 19 sixty's on woods and the boom ended today. the many tough houses still bear. witness to the village is full of prosperity. the

many volcanic cousins of the iphone, windows certainly used as quarries. some of them still provide living spaces today for the rulers of the middle ages, the top of such a volcano, it was a good place for a fortress. there were plenty of stones for building and was a panorama old brook console, for example, sits proudly at top of 460 meta high volt kenny cone. the new a board stands even higher as an altitude is more than 670 meters. but he's best known for the famous rice cools at the foot of the mountain. the renewable agreeing was originally built to provide the pull eiffel region with

a new source of income and onto the asphalt, on which famous racing drivers have done the lapse line. message of love of best sold from the quarries of the volcanic iso said your ability even when burying a numerous loads made them the ideal foundation the today, it's almost forgotten that the ancient ruin of new a book castle sits on an extinct volcano. but the volcanic origin of many places can be seen from above the room. a bed is a cone and solidified slag in front of it is the stroma. it's almost completely sealed, it up the

some of the extinct volcanoes provide the perfect conditions for recreational athletes. the may have failed. ma, for example, is popular with powered light is the what sits, the smaller apart from others is the form of its crate to rim. eats very steep and so exposed in some places that it makes, but just the right take of slope above the steep cooked crate to ring. you can slide perfect circles if the wind is rise and with the views like this, it's like a dream come true. the, the volcanic calling for eliza world of water, and not only because of its many months,

there are plenty of places where water rises to the surface. as in the votes, she looked with its deep pools of volcanic tress of the list spectacular, but still valuable for the region is another phenomenon. there is springs everywhere in the eiffel, some hidden in the middle of the forest. andreas schuler from the volcanic eiffel, g o, a cock knows where these trays come from. in the case of the guys the in under now, it's carbon dioxide that drives the ground water up through the volcanic rock. the, the, the special aspect of this area is the fact that the water contains not only minerals but also a significant amount of carbon dioxide which device mon, oh,

excuse me. and we know from chemical studies that this, the to like other gases originates from the venting process of the magnet deep in the cross list and the opera mantle as well. so you could say that the iphones, mineral water is also contain the breath of the volcanoes. and higher than the would raise these celtic for willing spring. the that's this is here, this is the dash side to raise it's carbonated, it's fusing and also it has a very, very high i am content on top. in fact, it's the mineral water with the highest i am content in the volcanic iphone isn't got. if you end up with con josh, i garrulous stein down. almost every community here has its own spring. the

settlements grew up around them. is that place this odds and so mine and been of these what is contain minerals and the guns and a number may even have medicinal applications and intuitive properties. so good looks to be and so the idea arose to capitalize on these properties, to bring some cash into the regions a month. and also if i schedule the like your supply today, the bo county call the police known for its many varieties of curative mineral water. the rou, like in the north, west of the eiffel, is also a drinking water reservoir. a massive dam holds back the ruler river at almost 80 meters in height. it protects the people down stream from a catastrophic flood. but what would happen if the dam was damaged, say by a powerful this quake? this is why deep down in the dam daily inspections that performed to ensure

everything is in order. this is the job of dam safety engineer, band hod hipkins. the pendulum shows every little movement, minimal swings, and normal. they main madame is functioning properly. but what is the nearby volcanic eiffel stance to rumble? if the volcanoes reawaken the 1st quakes would be the 1st signs we are leading to my inbox. when that's when we're talking about around 200000000 cubic meters of water. tom, height of 77 meters. if something happened it would be huge. and so we just have to make sure that the safety is guaranteed around the clock is here in the fall south of the volcanic, only 2 lines,

an important measuring station else console stands and assigned valley of the most a river. the doctor brigade took snuff. my intrude heads, besides my logical observer, treat that cologne university. she and her colleague klaus fleischer visit the 12th century console regularly. they have no interest in orioles or targets. they going underground the here in the deepest volta of the castle, directly on the rocky ground, the university has installed a highly sensitive science, mcgrath it registers every vibration, no matter how gentle the,

let's see, i'm the i for i'm this will here any i said we have on average about 50 to a 100 tremors a year, but most of them are so minor that they cannot be solved by humans since my form mentioned bonnie muslims especially. oh, what's this distant trema? exactly. isn't that something let us give us just before 12 or 12 it will have to take a look later. it was relatively short quarters. so those would just set this waves from a bloss to thing. and then from nice thing, one of the calls that could be this close to being most of the strongest quick we have reported with instruments, was in 2007. your site, which had a magnitude of 3.9 and was felt over a great distance and i found on the bottom of the it was in 2013. this one is my logical station recorded and unusual phenomena. and that is occupied the scientific

world ever since. first trim is from deep beneath the full, the doesn't alter, keeps me in the dark, nice with the deepest quakes ever recorded in germany. and they had a special signature. that's what they look different from the quakes we usually see here. this does not necessarily mean that maxima is rising, but there is definite movement and with eagles. movement that could indicate that maxima is gathering a gain on the ground. the volcano is becoming active. these raises questions. the impression given him was not to someone in which areas should we actually expect this mainly in the area of like last or perhaps even further west horrible. cannick centers were more recently active. the goal is to better understand what is down there and how dangerous it may be. that auto see

a goal shed by seismic geologist, professor russia to at the federal academy of civil protection. for his work, the measurements are important to indicate is the, the, the missing tech line is inclined to shoot to go in these earthquakes. very small trim is open ended the interesting point because such an accumulation may full cost of all kind of corruption. hospital fine is that worked really well with a lot palm interruption. this year. we had seismic signals that effectively full cost this maxima rise. de jesus might be some lockman of duke and changing the diesel, loud enough time to prepare thousands of people for the method of rupture, and have cooper at the house and to bring them to safety from the ash and red hot

lava knowledge, which is just as valuable, so the ice a whole bunch of the morning time hunters is by, sees this idea of what we're doing here at the moment is passive, we're just listening to the us and trying to interpret signal noise coming from different depths is, can you hear me now let's see to the us quakes at lake last, where the deepest earthquakes in all of germany. a record that go down to about 40 kilometers. which means that we have to position additional devices and listen to different locations against window sheet. the with us as to specify move and that's what we're working on and why the eiffel is a real laboratory for us, a moving research project and why it is actually a jewel of research of volcanic activity in germany. this we can use moving to arch

then the a june bonus bio of fire, still smoldering deep beneath the eye. so no one knows when the volcanoes will awaken. but one thing is certain, we will be ready for it. the of the ship, your guide to life and intention to explore all the latest online trend, navigate your way through the digital jungle global perspective. we'll see you guys and show you what's possible. you decide what really message to you shift in 15 minutes on the w
