the icelandic volcano or after your cold has awoken from its deep slumber and threatens to erupt. extreme athlete i nasa goes on is preparing for the worst. case scenario that flops that will calm down from the mountain will only give me 20 minutes 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 is joined by sarah and sam 2 business consultants from london. this. is

famous in iceland has explored almost all the ice caves in the glass is. boy. whom you move today the volcano is clearly visible it doesn't look like a volcano but like a long mountain ridge time to carry on on force. the. one. into their highnesses. that without spikes you would slit after 2

meters on the glassy rice almost after. the one hour the 3 reached the crevice discovered by 50 year old i know some 10 years ago. and then the pure. aqua marini and turquoise. the ice several tens of thousands of 1st fell. then it was compressed and

became brock hot and transparent almost like glass. sometimes there are streaks of fine layers of ash in the ice traces of volcanic 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 to travel through. blocked or go all

the way through to different by a.b.c. . but via if the. very simple explanation i really love this blue collar got motion i love it this is why he said that the. truth i say is because i love god love me i love you but i'm happy. and then by igniting a gas stove another color as he is. it's seen in the reflection of the flame on the wall and ceiling. the. wind. which was covered entirely by snow and ice erupted in $1362.00 it covered

almost the entire island with hot ash the cloud spread in the upper layers of the atmosphere and ash fell across eastern iceland and parts of northern europe. it's estimated that the eruption cost the lives of millions of people worldwide. 530 or. so. now in 201-820-0100 extension 0. and i'm not hopeful. but iceland is arming itself against another possible major eruption. is also in the. the emergency warning system the volcano became active in november 27 tane with numerous earthquakes it's summer 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 gugu nason 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 unlike 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.

robbed by measuring conductivity but remember at low levels and what a lot of water comes directly from the volcano after you have the highest electrical conductivity to group it out 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 team is in charge of the earth quite. monitoring system. her italian colleague sort of 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 the wind force and direction quantity and composition of volcanic ash. which is the time i. guess. you know various. 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 newmark bomb this is music he is somehow reflecting these these changes in their part of the system.

and what we do currently in our work 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 there are acceleration or rapid changes in the system that might be pickle sorry for interruption. the icelanders take the threat from the sleeping giant so seriously that the intervals between emergency exercises have been shortened. researchers will never forget nov 27th seen the seismic signal sent out by the volcano were extreme it was like hitting a church bell with a sledgehammer. ok man show you here on a laptop. just.

it's kind of obvious we're just this is from 2005 and here in 2017 it's just the sea is in place and it doesn't really matter what you look at if you look at the monthly earthquake 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 you know look at what's happening and then all of a sudden here in 2017 it really starts to increase both. sides of the it will happen at some point. there will be an eruption. and the question is just one . iceland is blessed with breathtaking nature rich fishing grounds and a unique energy source. ready electricity

production on 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 a 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 every farm has been located directly under the i.f.a. local tall kaino since 1906. it was taken over by all of her added since family in 1906 until early 2010 the farm supplied the family with an abundance of projects but then the volcano erupted. voters are it's 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 russian exceeded all fears. were of a 3rd we had $200.00 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 that is all we have left. we didn't imagine we would suddenly have to abandon the farm the land and the animals i guess what 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 and april 2010. 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. you really still get a lot of. the feeling that. on march the 20th 2010 the earth opened several kilometers east of your quote. lover emerged from an elongated feature and flowed towards the northeast. at 1st it was an exciting out mostly harmless natural spectacle. but then on the morning of april 14th a 2 kilometer long crevasse broke open on the summit pushing the sub trainee and world skywards the volcano was covered by

a several 100 meter thick ice cap millions and millions of tons of melt water formed under the. a tidal wave pool into the valley. people had been evacuated in time and luckily there were no casualties. but the collision of ice and lava led to the lava cooling down within seconds and exploding an ash cloud it rose 9 kilometers into the sky and brought air traffic endurable to a standstill. in the immediate vicinity of the volcano a day turned into night. sreng down. covering every square metre of land and every remaining house every cow every straight. owner for exit signs farm was among those destroyed.

but only further and his family survived and eventually they were able to return to the farm together with his wife grizzly he began to free the farm from the ashleigh a task which would take years. around 2 thirds of all icelanders live in the reykjavik region any 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 was 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 to what may be ongoing and because that is a possibility of work for the staff to have a smoking 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 very swift it would happen very fast. for up some staff from this launch. it could be only 20 minutes from the start of that option and the water. heaters have meets that it's the main road and once it reaches the mental the mental to.

the magma has longer time too and they tend to be more explosive than is average for iceland so. it is for that reason strongly 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 oya for you called. 5 children attend the school 3 of them a sick today including 9 a son and so just 3 people take part in lessons including teacher and berlin enthuses magna hilda. you know has today's 1st marriage and elsewhere in europe children build forests rel weights and castles here they work on erupting volcano is. just just said to favor it's very dangerous just count the ballots here the volcano could destroy everything right here on this couple everything and the whole area oh . 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 everyone in the surrounding area has to go to the school immediately all icelanders a wound by text message or found called the teacher would be responsible for her pupils. she is dreading it if you know 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 claims he is below or you for your own called batman begins interstellar or game of thrones. are now has sometimes watched the filming from a distance but he's less interested in the films than the volcano itself in good weather you can see how for iceland from the top.

yeah by now advances the pilot on with best to land his helicopter. minus 15 degrees celsius. this is where the crater of 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 the symbol of faith across. and by walking from north to south and then from west to east. you can see the president down there this has just been forming the last year and probably different from here in my e.p.a.'s measurement is flipped it over 20 meters. on this 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. is trembling going on in the mountain for the last year like every day before that for many years you did not say it was a big nuisance of any kind of earthquake yet but that was like every every day and i very few weeks quite big earthquakes that many times we've been feeling bass earthquakes down in the farms and the whole thirsty of the loaf but. when will an as a volcano erupt nobody knows but the iceland as a 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 he. were to erupt as violently is 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 $1362.00 the survivors gave the volcano and b. entire region a new name. raving it means desert or wasteland.
