has received such a nod from the academy since 1937. you're watching dw news up next. we have a documentary for you looking at uh, the the jump, the germany's long dormant for panic regents and terry mark, thanks for watching the can you see? what old cars have to do with the production? here's a hands on the real media. watch. now on youtube, the volcanic i sold a landscape forged in 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 the only sleeping is 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, if the volcanic eiffel near under. now, the forces looking benita, you 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 lumber, that's the fuzzy that's you'll see like a 0 stage guys, a rupture needs you name. i thought just as each volcanic eruption is unique, i thought that the rupture unleashes powerful volcanic forces deep beneath the sol 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. is your 1st month deep bonds 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 monkey, and i can get them to accomplish pressing the . but when will that happen? the volcanoes of the life will, will low thoughts extinct. now we know that only dormant deep underground the colder and is still bubbling the, the traces of the last incident of a still clearly visible today. at

1st glance like 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 fund, the amended, the geologist goes to huffman and phone university. the will, is a window into the distance past the launcher for that's a 1000 john's 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. 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 columbus is 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 fact then cut the river off. the ashen debris swept over everything and left behind a blanket, several meters deep, 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 logic of dominance at some point that broke the hunters and others settled in the area experienced to catastrophes and one lifetime would come. oh schools 1st slow tonight and i felt kind of corruption and then a gigantic quarter search that went 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 as quote and you can see them on the wall here as, as rows. these are, this is like a history book. and so the we can study of 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 hill. to

the postman regularly leads groups of scientists through here the layers of the will reveal the stages of the volcanic eruption a it doesn't say english this year, no model by so and so, and what's crazy is that such in there usually shows several tens of thousands of years with a few funds, 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 pulled the stone notes, this is different, so it's not. and so we and a we night with the red, blue mineral expelled from the mcmahon. the the eiffel is one of the most important sites for us in the world. ok. let me know 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, g o cock 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 park. and tom, i see 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 in the sock them to get the app works with super precise satellite data, much more exact than basic navigation or hiking apps, the $100.00. again, it is a one to the mind. here 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. so if the drone can get close enough, you can get a good 3 d image comes on the dental one on the the drone 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 interesting and they consist mainly of pumice and tough 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 whole kind of corruption on earth. and it's been geologically proven that there were different or option phases. you have to imagine it's not like an exploding powder keg, but like several atomic bombs on it. and that's how powerful the home them so dentist, a lot of the big i know it's always close as long as the so what i'm the kind of just we country lots of pressure, russian on lake loss or other volcanic structures here in the fold 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 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 because such disasters. professor klaus writes you to is researching possible consequences of a fresher option of the lake loc volcano to look me able to. and so i gave them detail it would be a very high interruption column design of the app, which would be closed off immediately because like a landing simply would the possible good. 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 then we'd have to consider whether vice 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, but then things would get difficult. there are no other escape routes as you get exist in the problem is that in strongly con to landscapes like the valley or he in the eiffel and most 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 they sign because it gets sent to the this route. you must be visit the site also the depending on where we uh, they will probably be casualties as well. so when do you do, hospital is must be prepared for this specific types of injuries that volcanic

eruptions can cause, cause especially bones, is that so they have to have dedicated burn unit. so, but they also need specialized units for se amputations and emergency surgical procedures. if that would be necessary after another quick via beam businesses, unless he does nobody the that is it even possible to prepare for such a disaster? the people who humans playing the order for executive ation 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, a volcanic eruption allows a response time because it's less than the 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 volt kinda crate to is a unique natural paradise the but at the lakes east and show. there was still signs of old kind of captivity, both fits 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 young man what buried on the grounds of today's maria last abbey in the creek on

the one of the smaller chapels, whether 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 to and viewers and shop life is interesting to achieve a scientist. the system affects 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 and the assume for stack and gas if we saw a gas emissions increasing, it would be assigned that there is activity underground, perhaps indicating coming both 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 russian brought forth 13000 years ago, which is still slowly cooling? is fresh magma forming 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 meg,

my ease in motion. but they're in though sort of a signal. so i thought that the volcano was preparing for another interruption, the further west, the same as much as a residence of hell, volcanoes shaped the landscape. the deep finds of the eiffel the vine failed mon you down is locally cold the month of the dead. because of the neighboring cemetery, the wood, it's closed quite a ring. the pulls a ma is the deepest at more than 70 meters. it seems bush unless the the

photographer cloudy of the buggy. but the shelton mirror in law is the most beautiful. she is published a book of underwater photos from the crater lakes, which she worked on for years. the fact they're under the trees there are always fish. i once search i can to take their decline to smoke perch. always hide under the trees among the branches. that's nice to, i'm always happy to see the dos and the she comes here again and again, even when the temperature has dropped into full. but it's the very special under water will have the iphone mines that fascinates the most the, the

below the surface, the water of the miles, the still remarkably clear. no mess 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 what happens would assume that it's an a cause the sometimes it feels like the caribbean because of the turquoise blue water. and there are so many fish in official. if you just float quietly, they will swim right by you by

a common and when you die and kind spot page by car holes and tension the hatch, there's really a lot to see as far as location. um, it says in down here, flora and phone a bound. although most of the miles have no regular water in float. this said 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 pulls them are a 17 meters deep and they're striking. miramar is 35 meters deep on ones. you can get a feel for it. steps at the creature room. what do you see? how the sharp drop continues under the i'm sure it doesn't look like one was there

something we need to be aware that it could go off at any time? that's just the way it is on folks to the and that's also the last option 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 ch um and to test to the fiery past of the volcanic eiffel, the volcanic activity use to every way, even if it's not always apparent. at 1st glance, the

interval penny going full region, the earth 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 that the gas is rising from the magnet chambers, deep, underground pool, hot springs, the, when the food comes to the ice, all traces of possible kind of captivity can be found in the topography of the landscape. the bustled columns, rise from some of the numerous volcanic cones. often hicks, i can know the figures which shaped 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 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 or in the eyes, the solid and beyond. there were 3 big of options here, 34000 jews ago, have these guns with, 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, just as i just left off the, the lava flows solidified and phone the wide. so is he made

a thick layer of bass. so here's the funds of the companies there. for example, you can tell the difference. and down below you can see the bus on flare and further up, be sure where it gets more reddish. you can see that there are a lot of asking and all that you can really tell, but there is of hard to just look back there. that's the bustle to there. and you can see the lives of the 1969. cory work has 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 a policy of strong decided they wanted to tell them the question was, how to get this thing over there. it weighs $120.00 tons of them. 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. there's one up on up the largest piece. it didn't mean 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 maybe i that should be a, took a large caterpillar and a bulldozer question from behind to move to boulder across the field to where they wanted it decided, oh, i'm a single octopus. but where did 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. a lot of them was probably flung upwards during the 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 smooth village of strewn. volcanic stone from the icy region was covered to building material as early as the middle ages. the maria la abbey was built mainly as of dunk, 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 vote con, express, disproved the stone, like tough thomas and bustled to the rhine at the winter hub or in bruise,

it was being loaded onto the ships a lifeline. so the iso and a stroke of luck for the village of 5 man will kenneth corruptions. 400000 years ago, deposited a massive layer of tough perfect building materials for churches. the tough is 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 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 stonemasons,

gave the stone its characteristic surface texture with him. is she those? and which is a f o r y o for the q and shit. the go 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 up at the stats of the 20th century mold in 1200 stonemason is what the tough from 5 bins. growth are real boom to the small village. troops gushed 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. guns,

pine, or touching the obviously 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 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, 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 ends. what a panorama old brook console, for example, sits proudly until about 460 meter high volt clinic cone renewable. it 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 port eiffel region with 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 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 the stroma. it's almost completely sealed at 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 calling felisa 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 bolts shipped with its steep walls, the 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, geo talk 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, 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 mon, oh, is the treatment. and we know from chemical studies that this c o 2, 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 water is also contain the brass of the volcanoes and titan the would raise these celtic, full willing spring. the does, this is here. this is the dash side to phase it's carbonated. it's susie and also has a very, very high am content on top. in fact, it's the mineral water with the highest. i am content in the volcanic iphone isn't going to josh. i girl stein down. almost every community here has its own spring. the settlements grew up around them . is it please this odds in some i'm in 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 vote. can you call the police known for its many varieties of curative mineral water? the ruined lake and the northwest of the only fault 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 if 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 den safety engineer band hod hipkins. the

pendulum shows every little movement, minimal swings in normal. they may, madame, is functioning properly. but what is the nearby volcanic eiffel stance to rumble? if 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 south of the volcanic only so lies an important measuring station builds console stands and assigned value of the most a river dr. bridge you

took, snuff my intro, and hits the science my logical, observe a tree at 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 consul 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 solved by humans,

which my for mentioned bonnie baldwin, stuff the whole what's this distance? remo, exactly. isn't that something it was just before 12 or 12? i 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 when i was getting one of the calls that could be this course to be most of the strongest quick we have reported with instruments was in 2007. your site, which had a magnitude of 3.9 and was felt over a great displacement 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 full, the

doctor keeps me in the dark based 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. this does not necessarily mean that maxima is rising, but there is definite movement and with eagles. movement that could indicate that maxima is gathering a gain on the ground. the volcano is becoming active. these raises questions, the emissions, the numbers not assembled in which areas should we actually expect this? mainly in the area of lake laugh or perhaps even further west, where volcanic centers were more recently active. the goal is to better understand what is down there and how dangerous it may be specified. 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 9 to 690 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 mix signals that effectively full cost this maxima rise, the market pieces. the might be some lockman of duke and trinity, the diesel, loud enough time to prepare thousands of people for the massive erupt should have completed 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 more in time,

and this is by steve. 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. this gives you them. 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 she 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 of volcanic activity in germany this weekend is moving towards the end of june, bonus, bio of fire still smoldering deep beneath the ice. so no one knows when the

volcanoes will awaken. but one thing is certain we will be ready for it. the on the inside gaza. it's been more than 100 days since the most here attacks on israel dw reporter mohammed collude lives and works in the gaza strip. he has been documenting life there since the outbreak of the war. the humanitarian situation is catastrophic. the war and its consequences shows up in 30 minutes on the w maritime trade and tourism can be powerful sources. the beauty nomic growth, but they come with greater risk than before. container shipping is vulnerable to

both accidents and political conflict. cruise ships caused considerable environmental damage. can we still afford these enormous vessels made in germany? in 90 minutes on d w, the in progress, the world in progress pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic. that concerned about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w talk cost the,

the this is the, the, the news coming to you line from berlin, donald trump, scores, and decisive when in the new hampshire primary. the problem supporters celebrate the victory. the 2nd in his bid for the us republican presidential nomination. but nikki haley is only rival, says the race is far from over. also coming up thailand's constitutional court players, popular politicians, te, tell them children rock of violating collection law. he had been suspended from parliament but will now retain his.
