the trick then beethoven's pastoral symphony is the foundation. of an international art project. compose their understanding of nature. to mark the 250000 of verse 3 of the composers birth i like sharing program i hope not you know he's good. beethoven world wide. history project starts june 4th on d w. 2 more on. the icelandic volcano or after your cold has awoken from its deep slumber and threatens to erupt. extreme athlete i now see goosen is preparing for the worst. case scenario that floats that will calm down for the moment then 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 into sea is through the lonely mountains today he's joined by sarah and sam 2 business consultants from london. this. proof is famous in iceland has explored almost all the ice caves in the place is. it. when.

you hear today the volcano is clearly visible it doesn't look like a volcano but like a long mountain ridge of time to carry on on force. the . one. into that hina says that without spikes you would slip after 2 meters on the glassy rise almost up. to me.

after one hour the 3 reached the crevasse discovered by 50 year old i know some chinese who. move and then the pure glazier ice shine simply assume acrimony until cornice. the ice several tens of thousands of years old 1st fell. and then it was compressed and became broken heart and transparent womb a slight glance. removed .

sometimes there are streaks of fine layers of action the. traces of volcanic eruptions from bygone centuries. real. people ask me why. you know it's. some scientific explanation that i learned like yeah you know there. are all in this only that. you know this i am this reporter. traveling this deep through. blocked or go all the way through living by receiving . but viii ish the ice simple explanation i really love this blue collar motion i love it this is why he started like that right right right you so exactly got to wave length allowed truth i said it's because you love me i love you but i'm

happy. to fight it. and then buy a gas stove and not the color of pee is. in the it's seen in the reflection of the flame on the wall and ceiling. 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.

that if you. saw that you have that now in 201-820-0130 extension 0 you can have just shown and i'm not hopeful. but iceland is against another possible major eruption. is also a. the emergency warning system the volcano became active in november 27 tane with numerous earthquakes its 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. promise a good to have been asked and agreed to help. he knows how important precise data

can be in 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. robbed by measuring conductivity but remember at low levels and when a lot of water comes directly from the volcano after that you have the highest electrical conductivity to group around 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 still t. is in charge of the earth quite. monitoring system any. heritage and 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. they say is missing he is somehow reflecting these these changes in their 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 shore there also showing that there are acceleration or rapid changes in the system that might be

a pickle story for an eruption. the icelanders take the threat from the sleeping giant so seriously that the intervals between emergency exercises have been shortened. research's will never forget nov 27th seen the seismic signal sent out by the volcano were extreme it was like heating a church bell with a sledgehammer. i can't even show you here on live laptop. it's kind of unfair. this is from 2005 and here in 2017 years that this is in place and it doesn't really matter what you look at if you look at the monthly earthquake rate if you look at the map into there if you look at the end the chain

release from the earthquakes like everything is going up so it's just it's obvious that something happened. what's happening and then all of a sudden here in 2017 it really starts to increase both the number of earthquakes and size of the it will happen at some point but 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. 'd 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 osland an island with natural central heating and undoubted advantage of living on one giant volcano. but the downside of the constant eruptions. there are 100. 30 volcanoes in iceland 30 of them are active there have been 40 eruptions in the past 100 years.

to ferret out every farm has been located directly under the focal to volcano since 1906. it was taken over by all of her existence family in 1906 until early 2010 the farm supplied the family with an abundance of progeny but then the volcano erupted. daughters record 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 fears. were mid term but if we had $200.00 animals in the stable. if you ask a drunkard caregiver for whoever thought of 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. after the disaster only for 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. that you released your you don't want. it bring that.

on march the 20th 2010 the earth opened several kilometers east of area for 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 training 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 glass. 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. shrank down. covering every square meter of land and every remaining house every cow every straight. owner for it since farm was among those destroyed. but all of fur and his family survived and eventually they were able to return to

the farm together with his wife he began to free the fun from the ashleigh a task which would take years. around 2 thirds of all icelanders live in the reykjavik region and 150000 people live in the rest of the country 'd more than 2000000 tourists visit iceland every year and that increases the danger to human life notably in the event of an eruption. since era for you called geophysicists like magnus prudence and 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 it all really and it was quite alarming because. well we have not seen this type of precursors being sort of the 1st really big one. totals that. we have to be we have

to be careful we have to realize that we don't know everything before hand and be on the alert for what may be ongoing and because there is a possibility of work for the staff to of his smoking that it will accumulate in the conduit and then come out of a float and the characteristic of those is that there would be very little spiffed it would happen very fast. for up some staff on the slopes it could be only 20 minutes from the start of that option into the water. it's the it's the main road and want to do things the mental the mental to squat. the magma has longer time to. get they tend to be more explosive than this. so. that is. extremely 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 i know his 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. 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 enthusiastic magnet. you know how little has to do is 1st to solve marriage and elsewhere in europe children build forests round weights and castles here they work on erupting volcano has. just this joke defended it's very dangerous we didn't just call it but i was here the volcano could just write everything 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 or warned by text message or phone call the teacher will be responsible for her

pupils. she is dreading matches you know that's just what. i know 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 call to 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. yeah by now advances the pilot on with best to land his helicopter. fleet.

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 and this is where the volcano would erupt and i decide 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.

and. you can see the president down 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 meters thick ice here so the heat has been melting very safe place here and has been dropping down you know for for the dust. is definitely going on and on we have hot and like every day there are earthquakes here but small but every few weeks we have like theory that earthquakes you know but it's 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 but that was like every every day and i very few weeks quite big earthquakes that many times they've been feeding this ash face down in 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 $1362.00 the survivors gave the volcano and be entire region
