ringback. i know has worked as a farmer a fisherman and a carpenter but he loves the glaciers and the volcanoes in the ice so much that he has found a way to enjoy iceland's bizarre natural beauty almost every day he guides hikers climbers and fresh air enthuses through the lonely mountains today he's joined by sarah and sam 2 business consultants from london. this. crew find is famous in iceland has explored almost all the ice caves in the glasses. to food. today the volcano is clearly visible it doesn't look like a. but like

eruptions from bygone centuries. people ask me why. you know it's. some scientific explanation that i learned like yeah you know. this you know this i am this reporter. traveling this deep through. blocked or go all the way through by. but viney ish the ice simple explanation i really love this. motion i love it this is why he said the. truth i say is because i love me. but i'm happy.

but iceland is. another possible major eruption. is also a. the emergency warning system the volcano became active in november 27 tane with numerous earthquakes it's somewhat change shape and the readings taken at monitoring stations rose alarmingly scientists in the capital reykjavik asked residents on the southeast of iceland to regularly check the values at the monitoring stations. pharmacy google nasa and agreed to help. he knows how important precise data can be in the worst case scenario as. he checks g.p.s. installations repairs solar panels and like today looks for signs that show whether

the volcano is coming down or still looks menacing. the river has its source directly below the volcano. every underground mumbling in the belly of the volcano is reflected in the melt water. was. obvious i mean i i measure in conductivity but remember at low levels and when a lot of water comes directly from the volcano if there's ever have the highest electrical conductivity intergroup you know because. the right to do called had been in a deep sleep for almost 300 years so scientists have paid little attention. since it's a whitening that has changed instead of 9 measuring instruments there are now 26.

weekly meeting of the crisis response group in the capital reykjavik. kristen your story is in charge of the earth quite. monitoring system. her italian colleague. coordinates the volcano emergency teams. the data from the potential disaster area is analyzed by the icelandic meterological office an innocent sounding name for the crisis response center which issues commands to all the countries authorities rescue teams and air traffic control lives depend on the exact calculation of a wind force and direction quantity and composition of volcanic ash. which is the time i. guess. you know various. groups then like. to roll or just seismologists

geologists and volcanologists are currently focusing their attention on iceland's highest elevation under which it has been bubbling flowing and vibrating since the end of 2017. in the volcano definitely has been and probably is the receiving bomb. they say is missing the is somehow reflecting these these changes in their be part of the system. and what we do currently in our 24 hour monitoring at all here we are keeping an eye and a moment on area for you just to be able to identify all those signals that might be over the short term also showing that our acceleration a rapid changes in the system that might be because sorry for interruption. the icelanders take the threat from the sleeping giant so seriously that the intervals between emergency exercises have been shortened. the.

researchers will never forget november 27th seen the seismic signal sent out by the volcano were extreme it was like he seen a church bell with a sledgehammer. daemon show you here are a liar laptop. just. it's kind of unfair. just this is from 2005 and here in 2017 it's just this year's increase and it doesn't really matter what you look ringback at if you look at 3 months here if you look at the market there if you look at the energy release from the earthquakes like everything is going up so it's just it's obvious that something happened there you know well what's happening and i. turned 17 at 3

starts to increase both the number of earthquakes and size of the it will happen at some point the there will be an eruption. and the question is just one. i slammed is blessed with breathtaking nature rich fishing grounds and a unique energy source. ready for. electricity production in iceland is 100 percent renewable a quarter of it is generated by geothermal power plants as this one between the international airport and the capital reykjavik so much energy is produced that the export of surplus power is being considered laying an undersea cable to connect

iceland to the european power grid becomes more and more feasible as energy prices increase but electricity and hot water are cheap on iceland an island with natural central heating an undoubted advantage of living on one giant volcano. but the downside of the constant eruptions. there are 130. people canines in iceland 30 of them are active there have been 40 eruptions in the past 100 years. the fairchilds ary farm has been located directly under the focal to volcano since 1906. it was taken over by owner for

a good since family in 1906 until airlie 2010 the farm supplied the family with an abundance of progeny but then the volcano erupted. orders are 6 kilometers to the mouth of the volcano from here we can see the glaciers and the whole mountain range of. 3000 earthquakes were registered between the 3rd and 5th of march 2010 alone the following a ruction exceeded all feel is. what i'm referring to that we had 200 animals in the stable. if you ask of them got carefully before all the others thought oh my family was able to drive safely. i thought but it is all we have left. we didn't imagine we would suddenly have to abandon the

farm the land and the animals. after the disaster only opened a small private museum on his farm. thousands of tourists from all over the world have already visited to learn about the dramatic events that took place in march an eyeful 2010 owner doesn't admit it but it seems as if what happened traumatized him but instead of opting for therapy he got over the shock by watching images of those dramatic events over and over again sometimes hundreds of times. to the story that are. reporting there that. on march the 20th 2010 the earth opened several kilometers east of area for your

thirds of all icelanders live in the reykjavik region and 150000 people live in the rest of the country ready more than 2000000 tourists visit iceland every year and that increases the danger to human life notably in the event of an eruption. since for you called geophysicists like magnus goodman certain from the university of reykjavik have been on the alert in the 1st few weeks the magma came close to the surface so close that the ice above it melted is all really it was quite alarming because. well we have not seen this type of precursors being sort of the 1st really big one. we have to be we have to be careful we have to realize that we don't know everything beforehand and be on

the alert for what may be ongoing and because there is a possibility of work for the staff to of his noting that it will accumulate in the condor and then come out of a float and the characteristic of those is that there would be very wary spiffed it would happen very fast. on the slopes it could be only 20 minutes from the start of that action and the water. it's that it's the main drag and want to do it is the mental the mental to squat. the magma has longer time to evolve and they tend to be more explosive than this. so. it is for that reason strangely dangerous when an option happens. this small settlement of hof shows how dramatic the situation could become here everyone in

a 10 kilometer area are expected to come to the combines nursery and school in an emergency evacuation would then take place from there. in the past such meeting points was set up for several dozen iceland as today several 100 tourists could join them ainus son also goes to school here. but his house is a few kilometers to the east so he would have to go to another meeting point that means the family would be separated in emergency and. the school is located just below boyer for you. 5 children attend the school 3 of them a sick today including ainus son and so just 3 people take part in lessons including teacher and berlin enthuses magna hilda. how fast is 1st to fall. elsewhere in europe children build forests rel

wise and castles here they work on erupting volcano has. just this joke defeated it's very dangerous just conked if i lose here the volcano just close could destroy everything here on this couple everything and the whole area they are not yes it's very dangerous unfortunately leica. and then the teacher explains the evacuation plan which is issued by the authorities one of the meeting points around the minutes in volcano is here in hoff and everyone in the surrounding area has to go to the school immediately all icelanders a wound by text message or found called the teacher will be responsible for her pupils. she is dreading it. that.

i now has climbed his volcano over 300 times from the ring road below up to the summit. today he wants to know what it looks like at the top. scenes have been shot for several international feature films on the bizarre is below or you for your own called batman begins interstellar or game of thrones. i now has sometimes watched the filming from a distance but he's less interested in the films in the volcano itself in good weather you can see how from iceland from the top.

that. by now advances the pilot on with best to land his helicopter. fleet. minus 15 degrees celsius. this is where the crater the volcano is

located. it's covered by a $600.00 metre thick layer of ice. i mean i was able to measure that the ice was sinking. this is where the volcano would erupt and i decided to walk through the depression with his g.p.s. device in order to provide scientists with accurate data. he did this with a symbol of faith across. and by walking from north to south and then from west to east.

you can see kind of the patent on there this has just been forming the last year and probably different from here in my g.p.s. measurement is it over 20 meters through honest like 600 to meet that thick ice here so the heat has been melting very safe place here and has been dropping down you know for for the 1st year. is definitely going on and we have like every day there are earthquakes here but small but every few weeks we have like 3 rick that earthquakes you know but there is trembling going on in the mountain for the last year like every day before that for many years you did not see it was a big nuisance of any kind of earthquake here the dow is like every every day and i very few weeks quite big earthquakes that many times we've been feeling this

earthquake start of the farms on the whole thirsty of the loaf but. when will an as volcano erupt nobody knows but the iceland has been making careful preparations. when the volcano erupted in 2010 it was on the news for days the ash cloud reached a height of almost 10 kilometers if the earlier figure called were to erupt as violently as it did in the 14th century experts expected to spew out a 20 or 30 kilometer high column of the ash such an eruption would be around a 100 times stronger than the one in 2010. after the huge eruption in 1362 the survivors gave the volcano and b entire region a new name. raving it means desert or wasteland.
