i'm not laughing at well i guess sometimes i am but most are laughing with the german people german think they consider german culture. nudity will take this ground one day i'll do you pass it all out there in no time rachel join me for me to get my feet of course. the icelandic volcano already for your cult has awoken from its deep slumber and threatens to erupt. extreme athlete i know acid who is preparing for the worst. value more stationary your the will come 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 and to see is through the lonely mountains today he is joined by sarah and sam 2 business consultants from london. this. group. is famous in iceland he's explored almost all the ice caves in the glass is. to move. today the volcano is clearly visible it doesn't look like a volcano but like a law. mountain ridge time to carry on on force.

but on. the. improve it ainus says that without spikes you would slip after 2 meters on the glass a rise or almost up. to me. after one hour the 3 reached the crevice discovered by 50 year old i now some 10

years ago. move and then the pure glaciologists shiny blue aqua mari and turquoise. the ice several tens of thousands of years old 1st fell a snarl and then it was compressed and became broke hot and transparent almost like glass. a. new look. 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 well of course i can come up with some scientific explanation that i learned like yeah you know there. is only that. you know this i am this reporter. traveling this deep through. blocked or go all the way through living by. but via a. very simple explanation i really love this blue call of god notion i love it this is why he started to. write you start talking about the wavelength allowed to go through the ice which because i love god loves me i love him but i'm happy.

to buy it. and then buy the gas stove another color s.p.s. . it's seen in the reflection of the flame on the wall and ceiling. the. right 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 asheville across eastern iceland and parts of northern europe. it's estimated that the eruption cost the lives of millions of people worldwide. because i. saw that to be how that now in 201-820-0130 extension 0 you can have.

i'm not hopeful. but iceland is arming itself against another possible major eruption. also in. the emergency warning system the volcano became active in november 27th jane with numerous earthquakes it some a 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. are mostly good to have been asked 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. robbed by measuring conductivity but remember at low levels and when a lot of water comes directly from the volcano and if it ever have the highest electrical conductivity are good 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 e. paratime 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 country's 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 timeline of the. international. 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 that receiving new bomb they say is missing the is somehow reflecting these these changes in the 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 vehicle just to be able to identify all those signals that might be over the short term also showing that our acceleration or rather the 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. researchers will never forget november 27th seen the seismic signal sent out by the volcano were extreme it was like hitting a church bell with a sledgehammer. i can't even show you here on a laptop. just. it's kind of unfair. from 2005 and here in 2017 years that this is in place and it doesn't really matter what they look at if you look at them on fear earthquake if you look at the market there if you look at the energy released from the earthquakes like everything is going up so it's just it's obvious that something happened. throughout what's happening and almost an inheritance 17

starts to increase both the number of earthquakes and the size of the it will happen at some point definitely 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 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. this have odds every farm has been located directly under the i.f.a. local to volcano since 1906. it was taken over by all of her added

since family in 1906 until ellie 2010 the farm supplied the family with an abundance of projects but then the volcano erupted. it 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. order midterm that we had 200 animals in the stable. feels good vanguard caregiver for all we ever thought of 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 are guesswork. 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 i pulled 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 know you still get a lot. of it put in there that. on march the 20th 2010 the earth opened several promises east of the year for your

quote. land for a merge from an elongated feature and flowed towards the northeast. at 1st it was an exciting mostly harmless natural spectacle. 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 day turned into night. sreng down. covering every square meter of land and every remaining house every car every straight. olafur exit since farm was among those destroyed. but all of her and his family survived and eventually they were able to return to the farm together with his wife cruz ne 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 lived in the rest of the country 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 good winson 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 will really 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 what may be ongoing and because there is a possibility of work for the staff to have his smoking that it will accumulate in the counter and then come out of the float and the characteristic of all those is that there would be very very swift it would happen very fast. for up some staff from the slopes it could be only 20 minutes from the start of the documents the water. heaters it's the it's the main truck and once at least the mental the mental to. the magma has longer time to evolve and so they get 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 oya for you. 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 magnhild. one has to ask 1st to solve it and elsewhere in europe children build forests rel ways

and castles here they work on erupting volcano is. just this joke if if it's very dangerous just conked if i was here the volcano of us club 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 and everyone in the surrounding area has to go to the school immediately all icelanders a wound by text message or a phone call the teacher will be responsible for her pupils. she is dreading it. thus.

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 call to batman begins interstellar or game of thrones. i know 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 from iceland from the top.

yeah why not advance 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. 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. and.

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 this is over 20 meters across on this 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 like every day there are earthquakes here but small but every few weeks you have like 3 rick 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 new source of any kind of earthquakes here the da is like every every day and i very few weeks quite big earthquakes that many times we've been feeling this ash

placed on the farms and the whole thirsty of the loaf but. when will the anus 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 would 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 a new name. raving it means desert or wasteland.
