the military exclusion zone has a radius of 30 kilometers. but all mall and aviv have a problem. and kilometers. just. 6 scott. i igor speaks no french and only a little english which makes communication complicated. finally they march through the darkness. we're in survival mode we're not thinking about eating hooting drinking water or being tired it's. after 3 hours of walking the sun rises from here on out the group could be discovered at any time and arrested by a police patrol on. the way.

if that happens they'll be fine and have to leave ukraine immediately. people should leave work till night it's dawn now and we're trying to be quiet and there are some dogs somewheres editions from. communication with igor it does not get easier this is this is. this can you share this and use their weapons what did he say i don't not sure book thank you. in the middle of the forest they find traces of the soviet era hastily abandoned houses. and nothing has changed here for 33 years. old breaking into the restricted zone is risky but for these 2 friends that's the fun of urban exploration 60 yet this is illegal but is bad or it wouldn't be.

otherwise you have to like taking rests on noise because the police almost caught us a couple of times we're lucky. more it's like being in a deserted disneyland for the fans on this they don't lose either of. the other risk here is an invisible one. radioactivity. the trees here will be contaminated for at least the next 20000 years. contrary to all expectations many animals have reclaimed the exclusion zone over the last 34 years which has become a refuge for biodiversity. they set up a camp at 8 in the morning. palmo measures the radiation with a geiger counter. was also here a point 273 times higher than with parents often in the residential 3 times more chance of getting cancer. or mondavi plan to spend the next 3 days in the trouble forest.

meanwhile back in indonesia things are a little calmer i crack a toe on. the adventurers emerge after the dangerous night and. today the group isn't feeling quite so radical. normally the crater should not be approached during the day as it's difficult to see the glowing boulders in daylight but one person is less prudent. one time a young russian covered in ash beams with excitement he almost climbed to the top of the volcano. stones are flying everywhere like you what it. was makes me to that was an amazing experience i love adrenaline stuff like that this was my 1st time on a volcano gonna. be careful then the early bulldozers but they're like. a. anton's nonchalance shocks the french adventures in the group

i've read. some of this i think the video will end up on youtube or something. maybe he wants to take pictures to post them on like it's just about views on you tube until something goes wrong. unlike the russian there waiting for the light to fade. well until their impatience takes over before nightfall the group has already crossed the forest a careful from here on as soon as eruption starts stand still and be aware of the. but this time the mood is different. that it's not safe you guys. the 1st adventurers remain behind. i'm not going up there i'm not feeling it i don't trust it at all it's way more

active than yesterday. half of the group decides to halt if if if we're separating i don't trust it yells again then he's going to yesterday we had a lot of fun and we were lucky but i prefer to remain here where it's safe for people whose feet. he had promised not to go to the ridge again. but the tour guide is of the same spot as the day before. he has been on volcanoes for 58 years and several times has experienced burned feet from molten lava and barely escaped death. everyone is relieved when he returns to her room and back. and that we forgive you this time. and they get lots of emotions of flowing here so she's it's quite nice. food is free i explain to you this morning that there is a certain risk there are still there. don't you all right to stay here all day why

did i go on. strike don't you. see it's as if i'm on the view in such moments. i'm grabbing something from life something powerful because for the for. despite his 80 years passion for volcanoes is undiminished. live every year or more but in friends of mine have died in volcanic eruptions it is dying here is very realistic in asia. but i'd rather die like there is than slowly wasting away in a hospital or. relabel volcanoes give me some much happiness and so much joy. if one day i ask for something in return while there's nothing wrong with that. version of the english family i didn't go today you need to tweak i know my limits and you learn as you go along with. it because. you have

a child and a wife and her. exactly and last night as i was falling asleep i thought of my daughter but. another scary day for the volcano adventurers but that is what they came here for. yeah because i had lots of energy from the volcano but i'm relaxed now. looking for a slightly traumatized one but it was so enjoyable and we want more if that up the muzzle we are certainly a bit masochistic but we want it that way. we want to scare ourselves well this. was. the adventurous plan to

return again soon but crack a towable soon never be the same again. a natural disaster will change the region's geography forever. here to a disaster changed everything i'm sure nobody. but these days it's become a lucrative business. tour operators are permitted to offer bus tours with strict conditions one puts a simple day tour costs about 100 euros. the tourists are allowed to stay in the disaster area for up to 3 days. we cannot eat outside just outside you please us ability to. somebody bills they travel in they don't want your belongings on the ground don't feed anywhere because in your things are continuing into the way back we will need to make. sure normal is one of the most popular tourist sites in the ukraine.

it's hard to say the numbers but now for example it's around 50600 peoples every weekday on weekends it's up 21001500 people a future. the tourist group wants to see the remains of a natural disaster for themselves. they're all aware of the scale of the tragedy. when mankind is now in the mall it would probably. be the houses were evacuated at night at the time residents thought they could return after a few days but most of them didn't survive. it's estimated that 9000 people died as a direct result of the disaster. let it serve very significant place. it's like everyone should at least once in their

lifetime with it. you know bill and the concentration camps and just the week human tragedies and here we can see here. on the destruction that man can do. what the risks are still there and measuring the radiation levels a popular activity. level is particularly dangerous. 89 feet to the limit for ukrainians i know there is you know when. it means that we should not spend so much time. yet another way to get that adrenaline kick. like you terrifies. the forests are also contaminated to varying degrees. a few kilometers away but 2 frenchmen homo and continue to battle on once. they've been going nonstop for 15

hours. as i shouldn't take off that stupid of me. but their journey is becoming more and more arduous. we don't have any water like for 3 months we won't make it back without water. they're in the middle of the trouble forbidden zone still kilometers away from their goal. back at cracow 3 weeks after geese tour on december 22nd 2018 an extremely rare geological event took place. a powerful eruption led to the collapse of the volcano which triggered a tsunami more than $400.00 people died tens of thousands lost their homes that had to be evacuated. in the days that followed the eruptions continue

sending up huge clouds of ash into the sky. he is back at it right away he wants to see the collapse. at the airport he meets his regular customers. it's a little bit of a deal but. i poked 2 boats and let them know where we are going a little bit. the indonesian government has imposed an exclusion zone around the volcano with a 5 kilometer radius. the group doesn't know if they'll be able to reach their destination. ignoring the deteriorating weather they rush across the sea and whilst some start feeling queasy the crew have bad news. a little there's a leak. and the engine's broken down but it will tell. with

the damage repaired the tourists are soaked but still in high spirits. after 5 hours they reach krakatoa which is now almost unrecognizable. you to full. that's the length of the entire forest has disappeared from. the volcano has shrunk. from 318 meters tall to 120 meters tall. a huge water filled crater is formed. the beach and all the vegetation have disappeared. altogether. i never thought i would say conquer like this. he is keen to get going as you will all be so excited that. he wanted to be the 1st on the still hot earth

and they were all willing to ignore the restrictions to do so. people and made it go to the 4 of us. they were the 1st people to walk on the new. volcano. they say like the 1st steps on the moon could be and this is they always dreamed of something like this. after 56 years of traveling into active volcanoes it really may have sister the 1st time i've seen anything like it as you have all the rest of the. all you know you. although the eruption was only 5 days ago the tourists still want to climb the volcano. the newly formed terrain created by the cool lava flow is

a challenging and of course nobody knows the way. at the summit he is deeply touched. you don't know how i feel. like i'm the 1st time i make a lot of. the same thing that same happiness. for the rest of us i mean sure if it were me i look at this and i get such a feeling inside of me i feel it right down in my stomach if you like. cheers to you and to krakow. eruption. the group relaxes but key remains vigilant. that's all right everything is fine

right now be good at it go again at any moment. say yes thank you. yes we're yes we're yes as you because i'm not a lover. then he changes his mind. and ventures a little further down towards the crater the others follow in. effect the feeling i wasn't sure at 1st if i should go alone don't fall for it when he went off i couldn't stand that emotion also give us a view it's clear to all of us that if the volcano erupts now we'll die of the smoke. and you find that amusing most of the believe yes a little bit. of it let's hope we survive a couple of the of the awful he knows exactly how risky this all is. well all

crazy this is madness. 100 meters from the crater lake the group settles down he's adrenaline addiction has won yet again. sometimes i ask myself what i'm doing and then i think i should stop for good but somehow i can't. for the tourists this is a unique and uniquely dangerous opportunity. just 50 kilometers away the tsunami caused by the eruption wiped out entire families in the fishing village of carita. on returning to the coast the adrenaline junkies are confronted with a harsh local reality. so face you look at his son died. the day they were standing outside the house holding him in the way and

just saw him out of his arms and swept him away. it's only now that the groups start realizing the scale of the tragedy. yeah. yeah it's to sit down and say ok this lady came up to me and started. she cried showing me where her house was. we've just seen something charley wonderful and then just hours later way here standing in a disaster area think of this. but i wasn't expecting this obsession did you think you know you know what the villagers won't receive any was what we were. very afraid of this volcano i am afraid that it will happen again i am traumatized and scared yeah. yeah yeah. yeah look at the water took out

a whole wall thank you it's all we do that we're not faced with the scale of the destruction he is mortified and if you are sure our company will start a fund raising campaign and send money. home with you we discussed it before but honestly until you experience it yourself or witness the tragedy. you can't not be moved by the we have to do something. again as friends were the 1st to set foot on the new volcano but their adventure has caused a scandal which of course comes with consequences. they've been banned from future travel in the region. and. back in afghanistan the extreme tourists are preparing for the afghan ski challenge. from the word go there are already difficulties. in the

vehicles get stuck in the snow and everyone has to continue on foot and. right now this can. i guess it's fair because everyone is stuck down here so everyone has to offer. there's a fair deal. it's not going to stand rates. i've been expecting with. the situation is challenging. but the race is important for the afghans. the 44 local participants have trained for months and want to beat the visiting foreigners. the winter receives 10000 afghani about 110 euros more than twice the average monthly salary in afghanistan.

says the locals have a clear advantage effortlessly running through the deep snow. the tourists can't keep up with. the 350 meter climate 4000 meters above sea level is difficult enough but the weather is also closing in. none of the foreign participants are used to such harsh conditions. as they struggle to the top the 1st afghan sets down and out. the 21000 afghan ski champion finishes the race in just 26 minutes. meanwhile at the summit despite the vicious clay sure when the 1st tourists start

preparing for the descent. the norwegian anger has fallen behind. the 1st but i just you know you try something to boys to the stars to the last of them underneath yourself. wanting. to. suddenly collapses unable to get up. and. is in a lot of pain the american ellen reaches the group she's a doctor and is able to set in a shoulder again. to me. me

. me. me holding. the norwegian now needs to somehow master the downhill unaided. the afghan competitors reach the finish line. but travelers were unable to keep up with such speed. the 1st tourists arriving 14th and 15th place. more harm. then we did it yes. you know us kids get challenged yeah. 15 minutes later an exhausted in go also arrives.

and it's chaos getting out there wasn't a focus i didn't think it will be at a cost i like someone asked why we had to go but not everybody at the local. deserved victory. but the extreme tourists have also earned their moment of glory their presence giving hope to the struggling region of. despite the country's instability by miyan plans to expand tourism in the coming years. back near chernobyl and home all continue to fight their way through the exclusion zone. after more than 15 hours on foot they're completely exhausted when they reach the next stage to go one of. the cold war era missile tracking facility was abandoned after the chernobyl explosion.

somebody'll reward for the 40 kilometers a month very special place. igor doesn't want to go any further. he suggests the extreme tourist should go on alone. she should look at a station where there are still 20 kilometers to go when it's too dangerous to go alone. and what you are not going to the village just you know it's too difficult or force with our resources we hardly have any water that we don't you manage half the distance with what we have and we go. the 2 friends decide to give up on their goal to make it to prepare for. their travel adventure ends here

and do go on. but for the guided tour noble tour the trip is far from over and this soviet radar facility is just a stop over. very definitely not. under the radar you might say. and i thought i've given myself. they continue want to the city of prepared only 20 minutes away with a guided tour takes them to a cinema. a gymnasium. and a fairground that was originally planned to open just 4 days after the explosion. it was once the showcase city of the soviet union a prime example of soviet architecture since the disaster it's become a ghost town. so we enter in quite a big city and there's not

a sound just the birds. the highlight of the tour is to get as close as possible to the scene of the accident reactor unit 4 at the nuclear power plant. since 1906 the power plant has been surrounded by a huge protective shell called the sarcophagus and in 2016 a 2nd protective layer was added more than flying in. a souvenir photo in front of the old town sign. oh well being the case. before leaving the site each visitor has to pass through a security gate with detectors that measure radioactivity. almost $100000.00 visitors come to turn normal every year it has become the epitome

of disaster tourism. but one extreme trip could top this. one already planned destination that's out of this world. a space station. success in dark times 3 in the brazilian coastal city of mafia lawyer days on the horizon. regional social policy the digital currency and charity projects are shining a small light dark sky on the pandemic. and 13 it w.
