7:15 pm
on to hand combat that including attracting, come off gunmen in the tunnels on the golf. and that's it from me and the new steam for now. i quoted cold footage, but i was updated for you ask that sort of deal and i remember you can get your news on our website as well as the dw dell comp under committee. photos for media got offers. the and we've been coined is great for investing, they invest these. everyone here just wants to get into bit coming because then known as bitcoin narrows investors from all of a moving to last in america in such a bitcoin treasure know it is the cryptic currency value more high as you've been here. bits going in less than america starts november 8th on dw,
7:16 pm
the volcanic, i sold a landscape forged and fire shaped fine for some elemental forces, deep underground, huge glowing chunks of rock. ash that covered everything in minutes and foamed a one of a kind landscape. the volcanoes fell silent some 10000 years ago, but they're only sleeping, the ease, something brewing deep below the surface of the eiffel. how great is the danger that the volcanoes will roll back to life the, the, the in the east.
7:17 pm
if the volcanic eiffel near under now the forces looking benny cus showed themselves the cold water goes up the highest in the world. the every 2 hours the water jet erupt reaching up to 60 meters in yeah. the going so, leaks explains mineralogy, thorsten lum, that's the fussy that's your 0 guys. your stage guys, a rupture. and as you name, i thought, just as age of all kind of corruption is you name with us, is the rupture unleashes powerful. volcanic forces deep beneath the
7:18 pm
full as carbon dioxide from the fluid. magma meets the ground water. more and more, c o 2 bubbles, collect 350 meters below the surface. when it finally erupt, the entire water column is propelled upward or just respond to the funds in it, but that's gone. yeah, you can really see and feel the whole volcanic process obviously. so that helps to understand the pressure and power behind it and then shoot another volcano erupt in the eiffel, move on to the ice tunnels, pressing the foot. when will that happen? the volcanoes of the life will, will low thoughts extinct. now we know that only dormant deep tons of ground the colder and is still bubbling the
7:19 pm
traces of the last incident of a still clearly visible today. at 1st glance, lake last is a tranquil body of water, but it was created by the most powerful volcanic eruption in recent central european geological history. 13000 years ago the it's traces can be found on the nearby. vien gets big funds, the amended, the geologist goes to huffman and phone university. the will is a window into the distant past. the launch of for lots of housing johns, 13000 years ago. and this landscape didn't look fundamentally different from today . and then suddenly there was this explosion, 2 of hurled ash and trucks, some 40 to 50 kilometers into the atmosphere.
7:20 pm
the, the mass either option lasted several weeks as 1000 degrees celsius magma, mesa, ground water reservoir. the of the mountain top above was blown off by an explosion of steam, as a huge column of ash, with catapulted kilometers up into the at the other one is these are at some point this column collapsed on red hot ash rushed through the landscape along the valleys and through the brother valley, for instance, when it reached the rhine river, which already existed, fucked them with cut the river off. the ashen debris swept over everything and left behind a blanket, several meters deep,
7:21 pm
th, and stepped on. it's for the fringes of what kind of pools. i'm just all stone. describe this whole kind of corruption from the rhine and create as a recivore around what is known if you today is the largest dominance at some point that broke the hunters and others settled in the area experienced to catastrophes and one lifetime would come. all schools 1st slopes and i felt kind of corruption and then a gigantic quarter search that went to all the way down the ryan valley into today's netherlands. the as the blue products presumed on the list of all kind of explosions. and i thought it was more an explosion than interruption. this explosion, 13000 jews ago, left us traces fluid and you can see them on the wall here. as for us, these are, this is like a history book and we can study the centrally read had this volcanic explosion
7:22 pm
happened to cut off. each single layer is like a high resolution snapshots of an individual phase of the russian hill. to the postman. regularly leads groups of scientists through here, the layers of the will reveal the stages of the volcanic eruption. this is sarah english. there's no model by so and so, and what's crazy is that such in there usually shows several tens of thousands of years. a few buttons, even here we have a 13 meter cross section that represents a few weeks at the most. this is just a few minutes. this single there is a collapse in cloud november's, or any kids are saying o c. and if i pull the stone notes, this is i'm going to construct my, i'm done so maybe an a we night with the rad, blue mineral expelled from the mcmahon. the eiffel is one
7:23 pm
of the most important sites for us in the world. ok? yeah. let me know, i see me if you look at it's under a magnifying glass. it's really beautiful. levine gets bad vans. he's part of the unesco volcanic eiffel geo talk hoffman and he's team and developing an app to allow the virtual travel through the volcanic landscape. everything is precisely scanned and measured the new parking tom. i assume we're using the volcanic eiffel jewel park as a reference model. as the very 1st jewel park in germany that's offers a completely digital turning package. and all points of interest in this box can be viewed and the soft guitar. the app works with super precise satellite data,
7:24 pm
much more exact than basic navigation or hiking apps, the $100.00. again, it is a one to the mind here and we want to map the while back there and 3 d definitely. to do this, you need a lot of photos on the right image processing software. so if the drone can get close enough, you can get a good 3 d image comes on the data on the the drone can also reach sections of the will that otherwise difficult to access, the, the camera scans at high resolution, so the computer can later generate a detailed image the, the various layers in the wall are especially interesting,
7:25 pm
and they consist mainly of pumice and tufts interspersed with rock fragments drank, stopped by the volcanic eruption, the dusky on every aspect funds in the thing. it's backbone shows all the settlements, this all kind of corruption on earth. and it's been geologically proven that there were different or option phases laughter. you have to imagine. it's not like an exploding powder cake by like several atomic bombs on it. and that's how powerful the home them so dentist, a lot of the big i don't know, it's always cool as long as the so what i'm the kind of just we country lots of fresh eruption on lake loss or other volcanic structures here. and the guy told us, and we can only hope that would be enough warning by the for example in the form of earthquakes warms one, we don't want to paint to har. scenario bush of what happened at 13000 years ago happened again today in a densely populated region like the rhineland. that's the truth would be
7:26 pm
catastrophic island to mr. foster father. large cities like bone industrial plants and refineries. the rhineland chemical belt cologne with mold and a 1000000 people. how can the region possibly protect itself from such a natural disaster? the federal academy for civil protection and disaster assistance. b, a, b k in the valley generate scenarios cause such disasters. professor klaus right you to is researching possible consequences of a fresher option of the lake loc volcano to the to one. so i only gave them detail it would be a very high eruption column design of the app, which would be closed off immediately because
7:27 pm
a landing simply wouldn't be possible. then you'd have to see how far and how quickly the rushing cloud spreads, depending on the wind direction to move into the belief of class and the thoughts. and we'd have to consider whether varies were still usable with a critical infrastructure like trains in the power grid still worked. community setting vehicles may be able to drive on the free ways to evacuate people, but then things would get difficult. there are no other escape routes as you get exist in the problem is that in strongly considered landscapes like the valley or he in the i, full of people have settled in the valleys and so there are only 2 ways out and forwards and backwards. there is no other option, so i the host to come forward until the sign has been sent to the
7:28 pm
dispute. he must be losing the strange. i'll talk to you depending on where we uh, they will probably be casualties as well for that. so when do you do, hospital was must be prepared for this specific types of injuries. that volcanic eruptions can cause cause especially bones or stuff. so they have to have dedicated burn unit. but they also need specialized units for the se amputations and emergency surgical procedures. if that would be necessary after enough quick via the businesses, unless he does nobody the that is it even possible to prepare for such a disaster? the people who humans play in order for evacuation plans or rules of conduct, what people should do in a specific situation. that's difficult, right now. there were no plans in place like that, and that may be a mistake when this does that. i don't think it's absolutely necessary yet. unlike
7:29 pm
with flooding, a volcanic eruption allows more response time because it trust me outside volcanic eruptions come with ample warning. in the form of trim is and gas emissions at lake law. it's easy to forget that the ground below has still not settled. the old vocab and create to is a unique natural paradise the but at the lake's eastern show, there is still signs of volcanic activity, mo, fence, carbon dioxide bubbling up through the war. so the media behind the jersey would spill to study and recreation home. so young monk, c. 1970. when 8 of them died, inexplicably gas emissions from the lake. so what blamed
7:30 pm
the the young man were buried on the grounds of today's maria last abbey. in the creek on the one of the smaller chapels with the monks really is fixated, has never been confirmed. the professor hoffman and his team of geologist, the lake is of great interest the most fits are important to better understand volcanic activity in the eiffel. and to observe any changes the noon to engage with his metropolis in speaking to a g,
7:31 pm
a scientist to us with an offense show that there is still a volcanic activity here. and it's not only ever molten rock that comes out of the ground just involved in the it's mostly gas costs. and this is why the amount of escaping gas is continuously monitored. the affinity as soon for stack and gas, if we saw a gas emissions increasing, which would be assigned that there is activity underground, perhaps indicating a coming boat kind of corruption. how scorpion going today? we know that the gas bubbles and mostly carbon dioxide, escaping from huge magnet chambers about 40 kilometers on the ground. but what does that tell us? does the gas come from the magma the interruption broad, full, 13000 years ago? which is still slowly cooling. is fresh magma foaming
7:32 pm
under the lake. a new study involving researches from several gym and institutes raises these question. numerous weak trim is a great depth indicate that magma easy motion, but there in those to the signal. so i thought that the volcano was preparing for another eruption, the further west, the famous monce, a residence of hell volcano, it's shaped the landscape of the deep fines of the eiffel divine failed mon, you down is locally cold the month of the dead. because of the neighboring symmetry, the with its close cry to ring the pulls a ma is the deepest at more than 70 meters. it seems bush unless
7:33 pm
the sofa told her so cloudy, a v by gibbet. the shelton marin ma is the most beautiful. she is published a book of underwater photos from the crater lakes, which she worked on for years. the fact there under the trees, there are always fish on one side. so i can to take there because i smoke perch always hide under the trees among the branches, but that's nice too. i'm always happy to see that when she comes here again and again, even when the temperature is dropping, the full. but it's the very special under water will have the iphone mines that
7:34 pm
7:35 pm
what happens would assume that it's an a cause the sometimes it feels like the caribbean because of the turquoise blue water from all. and there are so many fish inefficient if you just float quietly available to them right by you, by a common and when you died kind spot page by car and tension the hatch. there's really a lot to do as a smoke ish this here it says in down here, flora and phone a bound. although most of the most have no regular water in float. this said solely by rain morsa which 1st seats through volcanic rock layers before flowing into the ma. well filtered and clean, the lesson is done. yeah. that's on. so what fascinates me is the depth of some of them are supposed to be. the programmer is 17 meters deep and they're striking mountain
7:36 pm
mark is 35 meters deep ones. you can get a feel for it. steps at the creature room when you see how the sharp drop continues under the, the short 11 was this, that we need to be aware that it could go off at any time. that's just the way it is on fossil and that's all the last direction was 12 or 13000 years ago. scientists say one should occur roughly every 10000 years. so in fact, we're overdue, the mazda end volt tenant cones, grace the landscape within magical chum, and to test to the fiery past of the volcanic kindful, the
7:37 pm
volcanic activity you still every way, even if it's not always apparent. at 1st glance, the interval kind of going full region, the earth's surface is rising by about one millimeter per year. even more in some places. these can only be measured from high in the air. what's causing this? is it the gas is rising from the magma chambers deep underground pool hot springs, the when the food comes to be awful, traces of possible kind of captivity can be found in the topography of the landscape. bustle. colin's rise from some of the numerous volcanic cones often hicks agonal, the figures which shaped thousands of years ago during
7:38 pm
a volcanic eruption when hot lava escaped and then slowly cooled. the, the in the quarries of the volcanic only full lava best sold has been mined for centuries. as here near the village of strewn in the past, the hard stone was used for building houses and paving roads. even the banks of the rhine were fortified with 6 sided vessel columns. today the stone is mostly crushed into gravel and grits bene down is the most are strewn stone. he manages the b quarry and knows the long history of the place for you and i have the solid beyond. there were 3 bigger options here, 34000 jews ago, have these guns with, and this whole valley filled up with lava get follicles. the geologists are still looking for the old of back valley, down here,
7:39 pm
and then also does all the others left off the, the lava flows solidified and phone the wide, 13 major stick layer of the best. so here's the thumbs advised me to look over there. for example, you can tell the difference. and down below you can see the bus on to there and further up wordly where it gets more reddish. you can see that there are a lot of asking, and although you can really tell that there's a hard to just look back there, that's the bustle to there. you can see the love of the, the 1969 cory wood cuz stumbled across a sensation. a blast released a huge rock formation from the quarry will 15 meters up. the 1st they weren't sure what they were looking at. a cool sample cleared it up. it was a gigantic lava boom that had been flung out of the volcanic crater.
7:40 pm
the strong love of them was discovered, but they're just laid there for some time. finally, they, we missed a policy of strong decided they wanted to. then the question was, how to get this thing over there. it weighs $120.00 tons. how do you move a stone, measuring almost 5 meters across, over the fields from the quarry to the village? we don't watch. the wind is blowing up on up to a lot of pieces in mid deadlines. and obviously they waited until the ground had frozen over the winter with the eyes and stuff into the 5. then they welded big guy and plates together and rolled the bomb onto them. when i thought did i, that should be, it took a large caterpillar and a bulldozer cushing from behind to move to boulder across the field to where they wanted it decided, oh i'm very familiar with
7:41 pm
the joint real come from the cool sample revealed that the lava bone consisted of many layers that had built up one after the other around a cool, like an onion. the law, the bomb was probably flung upwards during the rupture, and then repeatedly rolled back into the crater of the active volcano. in the process, it became sticker and sticker before it was finally encased in molten lava, where it remained until it was exposed in the quarry the today, it's the main attraction of this move village drone volcanic stone from the ivy region was covered to building material as early as the middle ages,
7:42 pm
the maria law abbey was built mainly out of the dock bustled and light tough. the at austin cathedral tough is even found on the right side of the central structure . the famous caroline, gee, and octagon, the v. tenix stone from the nibbling i sold was also shipped along the rhine to help build cologne's cathedral and ice old tough was continually used for repair with brave men from the mineral rich village of vi band helped the 19 o one a railroad line was built. now popular with tourists, as the full con,
7:43 pm
express these through the stone, like tough thomas and bustled to the rhine at the winter hub or in bruce. it was then load it onto the ships a lifeline. so the iso and a stroke of luck for the village of 5 in whitfield county, corruptions, full 100000 years ago, deposited a massive layer of tough perfect building materials for churches, the chelsea's lights, and easy to work with the same. if you look back from the 19th century on woods at the construction of cathedrals and volt ribbing you realize this is ideal material lightweight and able to bet heavy load just stuff. nice. why is the humans?
7:44 pm
but i deal for this. linda arch is stretching toward the heavens. the worlds of ham, but also build with tough from vibe in. are the starting masons gave the stone and its characteristic surface takes joe. with him. is she those? and which is a bow wow. for the queue and shit. the do for the corey was also the production site in the stone was still dumped when it was brought to the store house on lava and then cuts into rough sizes for the stone masonry steinmetz situation extortion through stuff i hope to at the start of the 20th century mold in 1200 stonemasons. what to you? tough from vibe in brooks, a real boom to the small village. to gush each vice for shy and tough is
7:45 pm
a soft stone made up of solidified default kind of ash, depending on where they are found and see the layers can be course are quite fine. good guns, pine wood don't change at the shower, say yet does eat minus the number of houses here, where you can see that the masters and the cory owners had the money to have a leverage. besides both on the, i'll send you a buzz on the vibe in was able to afford its own water and sewer network earlier than on the villages and had electricity as early as 1915. but the demands that tough fell from the 19 sixty's on woods and the boom ended today. the many tough houses still bear. witness to the village is full of my prosperity, the
7:46 pm
the many volcanic cousins of the eiffel with no certainly used as quarries. some of them still provide living spaces today for the rulers of the middle ages, the top of such a volcano, it was a good place for a fortress. there were plenty of stones for building and was a panorama old brook console, for example, sits proudly at top of 460 meta high volt kenny cone. the new abode stands even higher as an altitude of more than 670 meters. but he's best known for the famous race cools at the foot of the mountain. the renewable agreeing was originally built to provide the pull eiffel region with
7:47 pm
a new source of income. and under the asphalt, on which famous racing drivers have done their laps line message of love, of best sold from the quarries of the volcanic ice. so that your ability, even when burying a numerous loads, made them the ideal foundation, the today, it's almost forgotten that the ancient ruin of new book castle sits on an extinct volcano. but the volcanic origin of many places can be seen from above the room. the bag is a cone and solidified slag in front of it is the stroma. it's almost completely silted up the
7:48 pm
sum of the extinct volcanoes provide the perfect conditions. the recreational athletes may have failed to. ma, for example, is popular with powered light is the what sets the smaller apart from others is the form of its crate to ring. it's very steep and so exposed in some places that it makes but just the right take off the slope. above the steep curved crate to ring, you can slide perfect circles if the wind is rise. and with a view like this, it's like a dream come true. the . the volt county county police, a world of water, and not only because of its many months,
7:49 pm
there are plenty of places where water rises to the surface. as in the votes, she looked with its deep pools of volcanic tress of the list spectacular, but still valuable for the region is another phenomenon. there is springs everywhere in the eiffel, some hidden in the middle of the forest. andreas schuler from the volcanic eiffel, g o, a cock knows where these trays come from. in the case of the guys in under now, it's carbon dioxide that drives the ground water up through the volcanic rock. the, the zones of this, the special aspect of this area is the fact that the water contains not only minerals but also a significant amount of carbon dioxide which device months. oh
7:50 pm
is the treatment and we know from chemical studies that this, the to like other gases originates from the venting process of the magnet deep in the cross list and the upper mantle as well. so you could say that the iphones, mineral waters, also contain the breath of the volcanoes and heighten the would raise these celtic for willing spring. that's this is here, this is the dash side to raise it's carbonated, it's fusing and also it has a very, very high i am content on top. in fact, it's the mineral water with the highest i am content in the volcanic iphone isn't got. if you end up with con, dash side garalie stein down. almost every community here has its own spring. the
7:51 pm
settlements grew up around them. that place this odds and so mine and been of these waters contain minerals and the guns and a number may even have medicinal applications and intuitive properties. so good looks to be and so the idea arose to capitalize on these properties, to bring some cash into the regions a month. and also if i schedule the like you're also paying today, the volt, kenny call the police known for its many varieties of curative mineral water. the rou, lake and the north west of the phone is also a drinking water reservoir. a massive dam holds back the ruler river at almost 80 meters in height. it protects the people down stream from a catastrophic flood. but what would happen is the dam was damaged say, why a powerful this quake. this is why deep down in the dam daily inspections are
7:52 pm
performed to ensure everything is in order. this is the job of damn safety engineer band hod hipkins. a pendulum shows every little movement, minimal swings, and normal. they may, madame, is functioning properly. but what is the nearby volcanic eiffel stance to rumble? is the volcanoes reawaken? the 1st quakes would be the 1st signs we are leading to my inbox. when that's when we're talking about around 200000000 cubic meters of water . tom, height of 77 meters. if something happened, it would be huge. and so we just have to make sure that the safety is guaranteed around the clock is here in the fall
7:53 pm
south of the volcanic, only 2 lines, an important measuring station else console stands and assigned valley of the most a river. the doctor brigade took snuff by a intrude hits besides my logical observer, treat that cologne university. she and her colleague klaus fleischer visit the 12th century console regularly. they have no interest in oreos or targets. they going underground the here in the deepest volt of the castle, directly on the rocky ground. the university has installed a highly sensitive science, mcgrath it registers every vibration, no matter how gentle the,
7:54 pm
let's see, i'm the i for i'm this will here any i said we have on average about 50 to a 100 tremors a year. but most of them are so minor that they cannot be solved by humans since my form mentioned bonnie baldwin. all that stuff that oh let's this distant gemma. exactly. isn't that something let us give us just before 12 or 12 it will have to take a look later. it was relatively short quarters. oh, those were just so if this waves from a bloss to thing, then from nice thing, one of the calls that could be this course to be most of the strong this quick we have reported with instruments was in 2007 near sites which had a magnitude of 3.9 and was felt over a great distance and the found on bottom it was in 2013. this one is my logical station recorded an unusual phenomena that is occupied the scientific world ever
7:55 pm
since. thus trim is from deep beneath the iphone, the case being the northeast with the deepest quakes ever recorded in germany. and they had a special signature on the thing. that's what they look different from the quakes. we usually see here that this does not necessarily mean that maxima is rising, but there is definite movement of the vehicle movement that could indicate that maxima is gathering a gain on the ground. the volcano is becoming active. these raises questions, the emissions you got to somebody in which areas should we actually expect this mainly in the area of like laugh or perhaps even further west horrible cannick centers were more recently active. the goal is to better understand what is down there and how dangerous it may be. i don't,
7:56 pm
does that auto see a goal shed by seismic geologist, professor russia, to at the federal academy of civil protection. so he's what the measurements are important to indicate is the, the people's insect line is inclined to shoot to go in these earthquakes. very small trim is open ended the interesting point because such an accumulation may full cost of volt county corruption hospital fine is that worked really well with a lot palm interruption. this year we had seismic signals that effectively full cost this maxima rise. the package piece is the might be some lockman of duke and trinity, the visa, loud enough time to prepare thousands of people. so the massive erupt sion of cooper
7:57 pm
in the house and to bring them to safety from the ash and red hot lava knowledge, which is just as valuable for the eiffel must be a morning time on business by sieve. this idea of what we're doing here at the moment is passive. we're just listening to the us and trying to interpret signals coming from different depths. is can you hear me now? let's see to the earthquakes at lake last, where the deepest earthquakes in all of gemini a record. they go down to about 40 kilometers, which means that we have to position additional devices and listen to different locations against window sheet. the with us as the specified move and that's what we're working on and why the eiffel is a real laboratory for us, a moving research project and why it is actually a jewel of research of volcanic activity in germany. this we can use moving towards
7:58 pm
that the a jewel bonus, bio of fire, still smoldering deep beneath the eye. so no one knows when the volcanoes will awaken. but one thing is certain, we will be ready for it. the, the pulse, the beginning of a story that takes us along for the ride. it's about the perspective culture information. this is the, the news w. mine's
7:59 pm
8:00 pm
this is david lee news line from or less israel steps up it's offensive in gaza. and attack on a refugee camp kills more than 50 people. these really military says it carried out an air strikes on the facility in northern garza targeting a senior commander. and israel's military says, a large number of tanks is now inside guns on troops are engaging in hand to hand combat including attacking him off gunman and the network of underground tunnels.
