of escalating war one say that repeated, that's the latest on data. but the news this, our up next is doc film, with a look at germany's sleeping volcanoes and the scientists listening for signs they are waking up a marion evan stain. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more headlines for you or me and the entire new team in berlin. thanks for the company. the then we've been calling is great for investing the theme this this everyone here just wants to get into bit calling, because then known as bits coordinator rose investors from all of a moving to last in america in such a bitcoin treasure. no, it is the cryptic currency value more high as you've been here. bitcoin in less than america starts november 8th on d, w. the

volcanic i sold a landscape forged in fire, shaped fine, awesome 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 the only sleeping is something brewing deep below the surface of the i. so how great is the danger that the volcanoes will roll back to life the, the, the in the

east, if the volcanic eiffel near under. now, the forces looking beneath the show themselves, the cold water gullies of 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 fuzzy that's you'll see like a 0 stage guys, a rupture needs you knew i thought, just as each volcanic eruption is unique, hot dawson, the rupture unleashes powerful. volcanic forces deep beneath the full as carbon

dioxide from the fluid. magma meets the ground floor to more and more. c. o. 2 bubbles, collect 350 meters below the surface. when it finally erupt, the entire water column is propelled upward. yes, this one is the bonds in it, but that's gone. yeah, you can really see and feel the whole volcanic process. obviously somebody helps you understand the pressure and power behind it and it'll shoot another volcano erupt in the iphone in bunkie, an ice tunnel is present the . but when will that happen? the volcanoes of the life will, will low source extinct. now we know that only domains deep underground the colder and is still bubbling the,

the 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 launcher for that's a 1000 john's 13000 years ago. this landscape didn't look fundamentally different from today. and then suddenly there was this explosion, 200 hurled ash and trucks, some 40 to 50 kilometers into the atmosphere.

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 and steam as a huge column of ash with catapulted columbus heads up into the at the other one is these are at some point this column collapsed and red hot ash rushed through the landscape along the valleys and through the brother valley, for instance, when it reached the ryan river, which already existed fact then cut the river off. the ashen debris swept over every thing and left behind a blanket, several meters deep. th

and it's got done. it's for the funds of what kind of schools i'm just all stone. describe this one kind of corruption, tom designed and created a recivore around what is known if you today is the largest dominance at some point that broke on the hunters and others settled in the area experience 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 comics presumed on the list of all kind of explosions. and i thought it was more an explosion than interruption. this explosion, 13000 years ago, left us traces poor and you can see them on the wall here. as for us, these are, this is like a history book and we can study at the centrally read had this volcanic explosion

happened to cut off. each single layer is like a high resolution snapshots of an individual phase of the russian. it will to the postman regularly leads groups of scientists through here. the layers of the will reveal the stages of the volcanic eruption. it doesn't say english this year, no matter why. so what's crazy is that switching there usually shows several tens of thousands of years, a few buttons, even up 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 other stand o c. and if i pull the stone notes, this is different, so it's not. and so we n a we night with the rad blue mineral expelled from the mac mountain.

the eiffel is one of the most important sites, the worst in the world. okay. yeah. let me know at the moment if you look at it's under a magnifying glass, it's really beautiful. levine gets bad vanities punch of the unesco volcanic eiffel g or punk hoffman, and he's team and developing an app to allow virtual travel through the volcanic landscape. everything is precisely scanned and measured the new parking tom. i assume we using the volcanic eiffel jewel park as a reference model of the very 1st jewel park in germany that offers the completely digital turning package and all points of interest. and this park can be viewed, the saw them to get caught up with the app works with super precise satellite data, much more exact than basic navigation or hiking apps,

the 100. again, it is a bunch the money and we want to map the while back there and 3 d doctor up to do this. you need a lot of photos on the right image processing software. if the drones can get close enough, you can get a good 3 d image comes on the dental one on the the drug and can also reach sections of the will that otherwise difficult to access the, the cameras scans at high resolution, so the computer can later generate a detailed image the, the various layers in the wall are especially interested and they consist mainly of

pumice and tough interspersed with rock. fragments drank, stopped by the volcanic eruption, the dusky on every aspect. once in the thing, it's backbone shows all the settlements, this fall kind of corruption on earth. and it's been geologically proven that there were different interruption phases. you have to imagine it's not like an exploding powder cake, but like several atomic bombs on it. and that's how powerful the home them so dentist, a lot of ridiculous, i know it's always close as long as the so what i'm the punished weed country without a fresh eruption, only class or other volcanic structures here in the life of us. and we can only hope that would be enough warning by the for example in the form of earthquakes warms one that we don't want to paint to har. scenario bush of what happened. 13000 years ago happened again today in a densely populated region like the rhineland. that's the truth would be

catastrophic. i learned to just get off the font, the 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 generates scenarios for such disasters. professor klaus right you to is researching possible consequences of a fresh interruption of the lake lock volcano to look new able to own so i think even disabled it would be a very high interruption. collins, i know the efforts would be closed off immediately and because like

a landing simply would the 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 league of class. and the from thing we'd have to consider whether verbs was still usable with a critical infrastructure like trains and the power grid still worked. 20 certain vehicles may be able to drive on the free ways to evacuate people's a book, but then things would get difficult. there are no other escape routes as you can exist in the problem is that in strongly con to landscapes like the valley or he in the eiffel people have settled in the valleys and so there are only 2 ways out and forwards and backwards. there is no other option, 5 egos to come forward until they sign because it gets sent to the dispute. goes tvs into the strange old. so depending on where we uh,

they will probably be casualties as well for that. so when do you do? hospital is must be prepared for this specific types of injuries that volcanic eruptions can cause. cotton was especially bones or stuff. so they have to have dedicated burn unit. but they also need specialized units for se amputations and emergency surgical procedures if that would be necessary after another quick via beam businesses, i'm going to be just nobody the that is it even possible to prepare for such a disaster? the human spleen in order for evacuation plans or rules of conduct, what people should do in a specific situation. that's difficult, right now. there are no plans in place like that. that may be a mistake, but i don't think it's absolutely necessary yet. unlike with flooding,

volcanic eruption allows more response time because it's less me insight. 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 volcanic crate to is a unique natural paradise the but at the lakes eastern show, there is still signs of volcanic activity, mo, fence carbon dioxide bubbling up through the war. so the nearby, 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

the the young man with buried on the grounds of today's maria last abbey. in the crypt under one of the smaller chapels with the monks really is fixated has never been confirmed the foot 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 viewers and shop cliff, it's interesting to me to you,

scientist. the system affects show that there is still a volcanic activity here. so you start saying it's not only ever molten rock that comes out of the ground just involved. and it's mostly gas costs, and this is why the amount of escaping gas is continuously monitored. the ending it soon switched jack and gas if we saw a gas emissions increasing, which would be assigned that there is activity underground, perhaps indicating a coming volcanic eruption hospital in 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 russian brought forth 13000 years ago, which is still slowly cooling? is fresh magma foaming onto 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 in motion. but there in those to the signal . so i thought that the volcano was preparing for another option. the further west, the famous mugs are evidence of how volcanoes shaped the landscape of the deep fines of the eiffel. divine failed mind, new down is locally cold, the month of the dead. because of the neighboring symmetry, the wood, it's closed crate to ring the pool. the amount is the deepest, but more than 70 meters. it seems bush unless the

the photographer cloudy a v by gibbet, the shelton marin ma is the most beautiful. she is published a book of underwater photos from the crates of lakes which she worked on for years . the fact there under the trees, there are always fish on one side can take take there because i smoke perch always hide under the trees among the branches. that's nice to i'm always happy to see them and she comes here again and again, even when the temperature has dropped into full. but it's the very special under

water. well, the, the iphone mines that fascinates the most the below the surface, the water of the miles, the still remarkably clear the mass of the season. at this time of year, the water is only 10 degrees celsius in winter it goes down to 3 or 4 degrees the much what happens would assume that it's in the kazi,

sometimes it feels like the caribbean because of the turquoise blue water fall off . and there are so many fish just seen efficient. if you just floated quietly, they will swim right by you by common. and when you died kind spot page by car and tension the hatch. there's really a lot to you. as a smokeless um refuge says in down here, flora and phone a bound. although most of the most have no regular water in float. best fed solely by rain morsa, which 1st sleeps through volcanic rock, lay as 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. so the programmer is 17 meters deep, and the shocking miramar is 35 meters deep on monday you can get

a feel for it. steps at the creature room when you see how the sharp drop continues under the short i will for one. was there something we need to be aware that it could go off at any time? that's just the way it is. and so, so 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 and volcanic kinds grace the landscape within magical ch um and to test to the fiery past of the volcanic eiffel, the

volt. and i can give it to you still every way, even if it's not always a parent at 1st glance, the in the volcanic 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 magnet chambers, deep, underground pool, hot springs, the, when the food comes to the eye. so traces of possible kind of captivity can be found in the topography of the landscape. the bustle columns rise from some of the numerous volcanic cones. often, hicks, i can know the figures which shapes thousands of years ago during a volcanic eruption when hot lava escaped and then slowly cooler.

the in the quarries of the volcanic eiffel 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 in the eyes are solid and beyond. there were 3 big of options here. 34000 years ago of these concepts and this whole valley filled up with lava follicles. the geologists are still looking for the old of back valley down here. and then

also does i just left off the, the lava flows solidified and phone the wide, 13 major stick layer of the best. so here's the funds advised me to look over there . for example, you can tell the difference. and down below, you can see the best on flare, and further up. be sure to look at some more reddish. you can see that there is lava, and all you can really tell that there is a hard to just look back there. that's the bustle to there. you can see the lives of the, the 1969, cory wood, cuz stumbled across a sensation. a blast released a huge rock formation from the cory 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.

the strong love of them was discovered back there and just lay there for some time . finally, they, we missed the 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 nothing to them to 5, then they welded to be gone and plates together and rolled the bomb onto them. without telling me that i should be able to take a large caterpillar and a bulldozer cushing from behind to move the boulder across the field to where they wanted. it says, decided i don't understand the people that

waited 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 lava bomb was probably flung upwards during the a russian, and then repeatedly rolled back into the crater of the active volcano. in the process, it became sick and stick 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 the small village of strong shot . volcanic stone from the ice region was covered to building material as early as the middle ages. the maria la abbey was built mainly as of dog bustled and light

tough. the at austin cathedral tough is even found on the right side. central structure, the famous caroline. gee, an octagon, the v. tenix stone from the nearby i thought was also shipped along the rhine to help build commodities cathedral and i sold tough was continually used for repair with brave men from the mineral rich village of vi been helped of the 19 o one a railroad line was built now popular with tourists, as the full con,

express these through the stone, like tough thomas and bustled to the rhine at the winter hub or in bruise. it was then loaded onto the ships a lifeline. so the iso and a stroke of luck for the village of 5 man with all kenneth corruptions, 400000 years ago, deposited a massive layer of tough perfect building materials for churches, the chelsea's light and easy to work with the same. if you look back from the 19th century onwards, at the construction of cathedrals and volt ribbing you realize this is i do material lightweight and able to bit heavy load just because i know why is the

humans. but i deal for the slender arches stretching toward the heavens, the worlds of ham, but also built with tough from vibe in the stone mason's gate, the stone and its characteristic surface texture. with him is she's those. and which is a bow wow. oh, for the cuban 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 ranada and then cuts into rough sizes for the stone masonry steinmetz situation. extortion threw stuff out at the start of the 20th century. mold in 1200, stonemason is what the tough from 5 bins growth are real boom to the small village to gush. each vice for shy and tough is

a soft stone made up of solidified default kind of ash, depending on where they are found. the layers can be course, are quite fine, good guns, pine wood, dungy, jose yet does eat among 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 a network earlier than on the villages and had electricity as early as 1915. but the demand for 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

many volcanic cousins of the iphone windows only 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 ends. what a panorama old brook console, for example, sits proudly a top of 460 meta high volt kenny cone. the new a board stands even higher as an altitude of more than 670 meters. but he's best known for the famous rice cools at the foot of the mountain. the renewable agreeing was originally built to provide the pull eiffel region with

a new source of income and onto the asphalt, on which famous racing drivers have done the lapse line message of love, of best sold from the quantities of the volcanic ice. so the state, your ability, even when bearing enormous loads, made them the ideal foundation, the today, it's almost forgotten that the ancient ruin of new a book castle sits on an extinct volcano. but the volcanic origin of many places can be seen from above the room. a bed is a cone and solidified slag in front of it. is this true ma? it's almost completely sealed, shut up the

sum of the extinct volcanoes. provide the perfect conditions for recreational athletes. the may have failed. ma, for example, is popular with powered light is the what sits, the smaller apart from others is the form of its crate to rim. it's very steep and so exposed in some places that it makes, but just the right take of slope above the steep curved crate to ring, you can fly perfect circles like the wind is rise. and with the views like this, it's like a dream come true. the, the volcanic county police of world of water and not only because of its many

months, there are plenty of places where water rises to the surface. as in the voltage shipped with its steep walls, the volcanic trends 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. a puck knows where these trays come from. in the case of the guys that in under now, it's carbon dioxide that drives the ground water up through the volcanic rock. the, that's what 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 month oh

is the same. and we know from chemical studies that this c o 2, like other gases, originates from the venting process of the magma deep in the cross list, and the oper mantles 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 the dusk. this is here, this is the dash side to phase 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 guy josh, i, garo stein down. almost every community here has its own spring. the settlements

grew up around them. either place this odds and some wine and been of these waters contain minerals and the guns and a number may even have medicinal applications, intuitive properties. so good looks to be. and so the idea arose to capitalize on these properties, to bring some cash into the region, some of them all. it's all scared to be like your supply. today, the bo county calling the police known for its many varieties of curative mineral water. the rule lake and the north west of the eiffel 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

performed to ensure everything is in order. this is the job of dam safety engineer, band hod hipkins. the pendulum shows every little movement, minimal swings in normal. they may not dam is functioning properly. but what is the nearby? volcanic eiffel starts to rumble. east the volcanoes reawaken the 1st quakes would be the 1st signs 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 south of the volcanic i so lies an important measuring station

else console stands and assigned value of the most a river. the doctor brigade took snuff via intrude hits the science my logical observatory at cologne university. she and her colleague klaus lyesha 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

mitzy 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 felt by humans, which my for mentioned bonnie muslim stoughton how, what's this distance trema exactly. isn't that something it was just before 12 or 12 it will have to take a look later. it was relatively short quarters. oh those were just so this waves from a bloss to thing and then from nice thing, one of the calls that could be this course to be in. most of the strongest quick we have reported with instruments was in 2007 in your site, which had a magnitude of 3.9 and was felt over a great distance and found on the bottom. it was in 2013, but this one is my logical station recorded an unusual phenomena that is occupied the scientific world ever since. first trim is from deep beneath the awful

the doesn't, don't accuse me of being dark nice with the deepest quakes ever recorded in germany . and they had a special signature, that's what they look different from the quakes we usually see here. this does not necessarily mean that maxima is rising, but there is definite movement and with the movement that could indicate that maxima is gathering again on the ground. the volcanoes becoming active, these raises questions. the emission team members, not to someone in which areas should we actually expect this? mainly in the area of like class or perhaps even further west horrible, conic centers were more recently active. the goal is to better understand what is down there and how dangerous it may be. i don't,

does that auto see a goal shed by seismic geologist, professor russia, to at the federal academy of civil protection for his work. the measurements are important to indicate is the these at people's insects i'm just 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 to see if we had size mixed signals that effectively full cost. this maxima rise, the market pieces might be some lockman of duke and trinity, the diesel, loud enough time to prepare thousands of people for the massive erupt sion of cooper in the house and to bring them to safety from the ash and red hot lava

knowledge which is just as valuable, so the ice will be here moving time. i think this is steve to size the what we're doing here at the moment is passive. we're just listening to the us and trying to interpret signal noise coming from different depths. this could hear me now let's see to the earthquakes at lake last, where the deepest earthquakes in all of germany, a record they go down to about 40 kilometers, which means that we have to position additional devices and listen to different locations and guns window. she thinks the with us as to as possible, 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 jeweler for research. a volcanic activity in germany this weekend is moving

towards the end of june, 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 in the, in good shape. a strong immune system. yes, please. but viruses never leaves and they have big, green changes. love an unexpected moment. please hang the bugs. that's the plan to make sure to do it right. because it's so much nicer to be healthy. in good shape, 13 minutes, d, w,

the shape, we don't have a choice. so we have little time list to save the planet. so we have to do what we can as fast as possible. we only have one generation left just 25 years to implement the greatest revolution since the doing of the industrial age . replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world without exception is a global energy to information really the cost of the food is or is it for our to pa, document tree the renewables, whether this starts november 25th on dw,
