in recent years a niche activity has been developing in the leisure industry. a far cry from luxury all included package holidays extreme tourism has dried up volcano and tornado hunters and adventurers in crisis areas leap and extreme athletes have all sought the ultimate adrenaline kick in some of the most dangerous places in the world. live we are a little masochistic we want to take a hit to the edge. more tourism nuclear tourism disaster tourism and the thrill can become addictive. 160 kilometers east of jakarta the volcanic eruption of krakatoa is in full flow. the group has already traversed the forest at any moment it could be hit by lava

rocks. randall get the really strong because split into 2 parts really gets the owners and the impact left quite the crater. pale the other day they've just landed. is arrested these wrongs can weigh 2 to 3 times. $2.00 to $3.00 tons hurdling through the air at over 200 kilometers per hour some of them have landed just a few meters away from the group. oh. oh oh boy that's done and the bit is at the moment we can still go higher yeah well i think if the eruptions become stronger the rocks closer we'll have to remember. everyone is in agreement nobody wants to turn back. this in fact i am

all jittery. in that this is really a crazy thing to do. you want a freight maisons you that i know a little bit but with key i feel safe he knows when to stop and. the rich here is only a few meters from the crater. about 30 meters away if the lava hits you now it's over with. yeah maybe ok. this crackling sound is the lava rock hitting the ground just meters away from the group but the group remains calm if. it will be i'm really lucky if a boulder were to land here of all places. to all they go in. seconds

later a new eruption be. guinn's. beyond. the shower of stones falls near the group sophie just manages to jump aside. the rock shoot out of the crater over 600 degrees celsius but the cool down quickly . sophie wants the peace that just mr. gilbert a souvenir from me that was so close. to the. door there was everybody here sophie yes i'm here. i felt the shock wave is it when i think when the white hot rocks landed next to me i thought whoops. fortunately it's not my time just yet. game isn't turning back just yet.

we're very close well wait for another eruption and then go back. you know why we still waiting for the next one. does everyone actually want to wait. yes we. will go nothing ventured nothing gained. high on adrenaline the group opts to stay just a bit longer. one last one. here it comes. the next shower a fiery lava rocks pours down. the bulb as you all right. the group is surrounded by glowing rocks. the priestess camera almost took a direct hit. and

a stunning. i must admit i was scared i know you've been nominated that we're laughing now but tomorrow we'll probably realize how close a cool but was. it but it just was. getting so close it's getting quite dangerous. that's enough for the adventures today. to crack a joke i was grounds to crack. thank you for. the agency requires customers to have special insurance for one of these expeditions only regular customers who are aware of the risks are allowed on the trip. extreme tourists are on the lookout for scary situations so what better than to travel to a war zone. kabul the capital of afghanistan one of the most

dangerous cities in the world. the taliban regularly carry out assassinations as they try to regain power. and 2018 nearly 4000 civilians died in afghanistan. the targets are afghan institutions and diplomatic missions especially western ones . taking a vacation here borders on insanity. 52 year old ellen loves taking risks. the american has already attempted to conquer mount everest 3 times. a few hours before departure to kabul she sends a video this is the 1st time i got k.-r. insurance which stands for kidnap and ransom insurance so i've learned that i am now worth a $1000000.00 a colleague who knows i'm going on this trip and he said ellen you should be more

worried about this. at the airport ellen is picked up by an agency specializing in war tourism. i mean i think i'd be lying if i said that. this is probably the 1st one where really. actually. charging $2600.00 for 10 days the organizer provides transportation and accommodation. with the hotel is behind an inconsiderate us but armor door. no sign no advertising just barbed wire and guard dogs. elin's travel group also includes william from new york and 22 year old ingo from norway. the 2 men have already had their 1st scare. with this stuff but only if you're a real a just going to be nervous when the military stuff like this he like raising his

voice and getting more and more and i agree. i don't know what's going to happen. while welcoming the guests there guide karzai who signing gives his clients a warning. the move probabilities do is the savior if you is so good the security done there. usually telling me you're pressing the button of the bomb so the business people of this would be a way staying in the. mainstream like i provided it goes so. if you take over the bus route and the trust. was ours provided local clothing for the tourists. that are fun we fund our know that he's. dressed for adventure the group is ready to tour a couple. a city destroyed by constant warning.

from. the afghan conflict has been raging since 1988 with the taliban seizing power in the 1980 s. from the soviet union. since their subsequent defeat by the us they've continued to fight for power. decades of struggle have left their mark everywhere. this is the swimming pool the famous so who have the numerous feuding people. going there i can tell not in front of the camera. because it's political things but. even though the american military is stationed here the i.s.i. qaida still present a threat to the travelers. lingered in particular is quite nervous about the looks the locals are giving. us there

after so much and they didn't look happy when the city. is mostly angry stares you for. someone. you don't feel like you belong here that's for sure and i was there for. ellen on the other hand doesn't feel threatened and wanders away from the group. pretty. hero. by. her traveling companions are becoming impatient i don't know you well and do you have to go through ok i'm sorry thank you very proud of her thank you. despite the poverty there are children's balloons and carousels ellen is thrilled.

going to ask her. to write these are good. p.r. . and express tour through a city scarred by poverty. at dawn the tour group leaves kabul. next destination the mountains nearby me on. since 2011 and you will ski race has been held there and the extreme tourists want in on the action. of the capital of ukraine. the

whole mall and davida are in their early twenties their passion urbanites urban exploration exploring cities and abandon places away from the typical tourist sites . the 2 students wait in their hotel until it gets dark. at midnight they set off. i think we have. very thing. we started out way too late. to celebrate having passed their exams they're not heading to the beach or contemplating clubbing their destination is more radioactive the forbidden zone of turn over the side of the worst nuclear disaster accident in history. on april 26th 1906 unit 4 of the power plant exploded releasing a huge radioactive cloud all over europe. over 9000 people died and 200000 people had to be evacuated. the area is still dangerous and as

a military exclusion zone. the 2 frenchmen set out at night to avoid police checks. this year but. the man in the military outfit is their tour guide igor when leads tourists into the forbidden zone for 300 euros. the area is a 2 hour drive north of kiev a journey into the unknown. to you it is like getting nervous i'm excited we'll see. you. under the light of the full moon they make good progress. on the boom boom. boom boom boom. of the military exclusion zone has

a radius of 30 kilometers. but all more and aviv have a problem. and justice. just. 6 sky. eagle eye speaks no french and. only a little english which makes communication complicated. finally they march through the darkness. because we're in survival mode we're not thinking about eating clued in drinking water or being tired. after 3 hours of walking the sun rises from here on out in the group to 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. cautiously

walked all night it's gone now and we're trying to be quiet and there are some dogs somewhere in the distance from. communication with igor it does not get easier this is this is. this can you share this and if they were but what did he say i don't not sure book and hanging out. in the middle of the forest they find traces of a 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 yes this is illegal but it's better it wouldn't be chernobyl otherwise it is that you have to like taking risks on noise because the

police almost caught us a couple of times we're lucky. and they're more it's like being in a deserted disneyland it's on the front on this they don't lose either. 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. calm all measures the radiation with a geiger counter. was also here a point 273 times higher than with parents often. resentful 3 times more chance of getting cancer. gone mondavi plan to spend the next 3 days in the trouble forest.

meanwhile back in indonesia things are a little calmer on krakatoa. 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. untaught a young russian covered in ash beams with excitement he almost climbed to the top of the volcano. stones are flying everywhere i think you're right it. was an experience that was an amazing experience and i love adrenaline stuff like that this was my 1st time on a volcano gonna. be careful. their level those areas but they're like. a. 100 times nonchalance shocks the french adventures in the group.

of this i think the video will end up on you tube or something. maybe he wants to take pictures to post them online 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. but this time the mood is different. that maybe 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 he also going to me is going to yesterday we had a lot of fun and we were lucky because my prefer to remain here where it's safer he put his 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 burnt feet from molten lava and barely escaped after. everyone has released what he returns on her back. and we forgive you this time. and they get lots of emotions of blowing here so she's it's quite nice. through this brief i explained to you this morning that there is a certain risk there on. dog you're right to stay here all day why did i go on.

but i don't. see it's as if i'm on the view in such moments. i'm grabbing something from life something powerful because it was a full. despite his 80 years passion for volcanoes is undiminished. he's almost one in friends of mine have died in volcanic eruptions it is dying here is very realistic is usually. but i'd rather die like there's that slowly wasting away in a hospital or. a labor volcanoes give me so much happiness and so much joy. if one day they ask for something in return while there's nothing wrong with that. most of the english from whatever school where i didn't go today immediately i know my limits and you learn as you go along with. it because in doing well

you have a child and a wife at home as if you just got a marriage. yeah 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. because i had lots of energy from the volcano but i'm relaxed now. in the feel for slightly traumatized but it was so enjoyable and we want more or less guilt we are certainly a bit masochistic but we want it that way. we want to scare ourselves. out of everything this includes. 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 noble. but these days it's become a lucrative business. tour operators are permitted to offer bus tours with strict conditions you will get through a simple day tour it 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 e.u. reached us the ability to small somebody goes if they travel in they don't want your belongings on the ground and don't feed anywhere because even your things are going to many of the way back we will need to make up his which are normal as 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 a lot to 1001500 people 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 isn't there anymore it was probably. 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 its 3rd 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. 9 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 it terrifies. the forests are also contaminated to varying degrees. a few kilometers away the 2 frenchmen homo and continue to battle on words. they've been going nonstop for 15 hours.

as i shouldn't say stop 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. volatile. there in the middle of the train noble forbidden zone still kilometers away from their goal. back at krakow toa 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 and 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 collapsed volcano and at the airport he meets his regular customers. it's a hell of a deal but bill i poked 2 boats and let them know where we are going a little after. 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. the little that's in leak. and the engines broken down.

with the damage repaired the tourists are soaked but still in high spirits. after 5 hours they reach krakatoa which is now almost unrecognizable. to 2 full. that's not the entire forest has disappeared. the volcano has shrunk. from 380 meters tall to 120 meters tall. a huge water filled crater is formed. the beach and all the vegetation disappeared. altogether. i never thought i would see kakao like this but he is keen to get going if you will be so excited. and he wanted to be the 1st on the still hot earth and they

were all willing to ignore the restrictions to do so. he. a made it go. for it up. there the 1st people to walk on the new. volcano. anything like the 1st steps on the moon could be and this is they always dreamed of something like this if in the end after 56 years of traveling into active volcanoes we may assess the 1000 i'm i've seen anything like it as you have all the awful it wasn't you. know you know. 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 challenging and of course nobody

knows the way. at the summit he is deeply touched. off. you don't know how i feel. like the last time i made a lot of. the same thing that same happiness. for the rest of us i mean through the problem is i look at this and i get such a feeling inside of me i feel it right down in my stomach before you go. cheers to you and to krakow. eruption. and. the group relaxes but key remains vigilant. that's all right everything is fine

right now be ok let it go blow again at any moment. to say yes thank him. yes we're yes we're yes as you should be 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 sea voyage i wasn't sure at 1st if i should go alone going off it when he went off i couldn't stand. the city bus so you it's clear to all of us that if the volcano erupts now we'll die of the smoke. and you find that amusing us of a belief yes a little bit warm but the let's hope we survive a couple of the of you offer 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 kut ito. on returning to the coast the adrenaline junkies are confronted with a harsh local reality. so face. his son died. the day they were standing outside the house holding him in the way and

just throwing him out of his arms and swept him away. it's only now that the group start realizing the scale of the tragedy. yeah. yeah it's to sit down and say this lady came up to me and started. she cried showing me where her house was. we've just seen something truly 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 oh it's one of the villagers won't receive any of what we were. very afraid of this volcano i am afraid that it will happen again i am traumatised and scared. that. i will get the water took out. that we're not faced with the scale of the

destruction he has mortifies. our company will start a fundraising campaign and send money. we discussed it before but honestly until you experience it yourself witness the tragedy. you can not be moved by the way you 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 in the. program how this guy. yes it's fair because everyone is stuck down here so everyone has to offer. there's a fair deal. i'm going to spend race. i didn't expect any less. of 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 winner receives 10000 afghani about 110 euro is 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. one of the foreign participants are used to such harsh conditions. as they struggle to the top the 1st afghan sets down the mount. 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 has fallen behind. the for. the easter bunny tries to put a voice to the stars my possible under the surface. well you know. suddenly collapses unable to get up. is in a lot of pain the american ellen reaches the group. she's a doctor and is able to setting a shoulder again. 3. times

. the norwegian now needs to somehow master the downhill unaided. the afghan competitors reach the finish line. the 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 those kids get challenged yeah. 15 minutes later an exhausted ingo also rides.

his tail spinning out there wasn't a focus on your feet everyone would be at a loss i like someone asked why they had to go but not everybody at the local. 7 deserved victory. but the extreme tourists have also earned their moment of glory their presence giving hope to the struggling region of ami on. despite the country's instability by miyan plans to expand tourism in the coming years. back near chernobyl and continued 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. the cold war era missile tracking facility was abandoned after the turn noble explosion.

some little reward for the 40 kilometer. special price. igor doesn't want to go any further. he suggests the extreme tourist should go on a lonely and. see you soon if you. station there are still 20 kilometers to go when it's too dangerous to go alone. and look what you are not going to the village just you know it's too difficult or sauce so far it's all since we hardly have any water that. we don't you manage half the distance with what we have and we'll go. the 2 friends decide to give up on their goal to make it to prepare. their chernobyl adventure ends here

a 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. there we don't know not. under the radar you might say. and i thought i better not so. they continue want to the city of creepy it 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. the winner in quite a big city and there's not

a sound just the books. 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 they. did it. 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. what's going on here oh no house of your very own from a printer. computer games that are healing. my dog needs electricity. shift explains delivers facts and shows what the future holds oh yeah living in the digital world shift. in 15 minutes on d w 3 the 77 percent and the young people in uganda are driving change
