lakes of the use on caldera hostile to any advanced life forms but they are populated by special types of which produce oxygen making the water surface bubble . at the same time they prevent me thing and carbon dioxide from the underground waters from breaking the surface and rising into the atmosphere. is that there are very specific conditions of sauna and want to hear one can find many types of bacteria with absolutely different structures this is interesting of foreigners. whose own is especially protected site within the nature reserve. yevgeny of loss of lives and works here monitoring the caldera. during the summer he accompanies excursions to protect tourists from the local bad as. the bad trail goes north and reaches down near. this crater

filled with cold clear water is known as a mom. this one is about a kilometer in diameter it's in a cliffs a quite steep so there's barely any shoreline around the lake. just a narrow black ring of ash volcanic bombs or masses of molten rock and scoria. here's a piece of volcanic glass i found by the lake it's very sharp is just the kind of thing that people use to scrape animal skins with before arnon steel were invented so very sharp and very hard this is a piece of hardened lava the last time was on a rock to was forty thousand years ago this time hasn't been long enough for grass to cover the forty thousand years he's an engine.

this group of tourists is exploring a new chapter in the history of kamchatka as one of their plans is to conquer to volcano comes the applause. the unspoken rules of climbing volcanoes are quite simple follow your guide closely don't stretch the chain if you cannot walk any further everyone else descends along with you. their aim is to reach the summit of the cone not far from the ancient volcano. you are about to start a difficult ascent to far from me following each other's steps be wary of show up but may slip from under your feet and cause serious injuries or in some instances rocks or fallen from the slope above and hit people on the head on occasion and the injuries are even being fatal. each cone is about fifteen hundred meters above sea level. these are the so-called

new tell but. they appeared as a result of the eruption and nine hundred seventy five. was one of its four epicenters. from one of the cone tops there's a good view of the crater and the old canals of thick spurting lava. those were the liquid types of lab us a bird's of they covered more than thirty square kilometers was worth it but if the forest was destroyed as well as the entire beautiful tundra that had been there about that well that other about. three weeks after the eruption one of the cone suddenly threw out a massive amount of lava. and travelled upwards from the depths of thirty
6:44 pm
kilometers. scientists say some three billion tons of erupted material in the form of rocks came from below the surface. all the while the molten pieces of lava noticeable kind of bombs shot out from ructions. scientists had to carry out their research in extreme conditions. we were going right below the cone as we were selecting stone and chopping the samples are part rocks at times those volcanic bombs orlando knots they were flowing from above like cannon shots and we would look out and then up and dodging all over the place to avoid them. to . day years after the eruption the tallest and widest wall of the volcano's crater

is a reminder of what was left since the lava streams broke out. the banks of these thickened rivers a painted in different hues. during the eruption rocks with a high concentration of coppa sulfur and other elements appear each has a unique color of its and. the top of the cone is very hot the warmth is still rising from the depths of the earth. we brought these sticks here to set them on foil with the internal heat of this code the temperature inside the fissure is nine hundred degrees so the state catches far in a matter of seconds. the first klein ends at sunset on the first day of the mountain trip but there is a much longer more difficult and interesting way to the summit of postie tell

to be active like the need to tell budgets ok knows. they are active volcanoes this means that they are either at the stage of the eruption or they are displaying other types of action for instance. or thermal activity six. tourists flying to the famous valley of guises by helicopter often see the fumaroles activities of local folk a nose fumaroles an ordinary steams of volcanic gas and state. they burst down from volcanic house together with ash and particles of earth. the valley of guises miles in the so-called zone of molten vulcanism hundreds of years ago narva bus. out near this canyon and to vulcan has emerged during the
6:52 pm
eruption. the valley of guises is between them the magma beneath still heats up the layers of rock and water streams thermal energy cracks the ground making curious forms of hydrothermal activity like steam pits pot holes in guises which are erupting in springs. scientists have defined their activity into four stages. water from a water bearing lay it seeps into the guy's a channel. it's then filled with boiling water part of which begins to spill out. the guys is rising may start splitting the steam busts out of course it remains in the channel after the geysers eruption while the steam rises to the top.

is often called the hot peninsula for its various forms of hydrothermal activity. this is one of the few places on the planet where unconventional powered technology is implemented. the geothermal power station is located to the foot of the volcano. the ground's natural heat exchangers for producing electricity. only sixty specialists member station. is monitoring its automatic systems around the clock and fixing and no functions as soon as they occur. because they are in terms of environment protection it's a very clean production process take steam from below the surface and send a mixture of waste steam and water back into the earth. is filtered from droplets unschooled particles. drive
6:54 pm
a boat gushes through a very high speed from the separator into the turbine and spins the rotor blades. this generates an electromagnetic field the current to create goes into this distribution unit. and after all transformations this equipment or eases the electrical power produced from the geothermal energy up to two hundred twenty volts and then it gets transmitted by power lines to consumers in the city. the peninsula's only major city. is situated close to two volcanoes. and caress. it was founded in seven hundred forty. scientists predict the possibility of an earthquake of seven or eight points on the richter scale with devastating effect. it could be triggered by something.

has passed the stage of forming at caldera. a gigantic. lotion occurred on a stop some thirty thousand years ago the western part of that or a polish come juts gate stands on deposits left over by the blast on our watch inskeep. good evening listening to the simple rules program on the radio today we're going to tell you how to prepare for natural disasters and stay in the light of now we're going to name just three simple rules which are all this easy to fail if there is too important thing is to do it on time so that the quickest exit from the building in advance to find safe areas that have children and relatives to occupy them if necessary and finally keep all your documents together and an emergency back with medicine water and warn things in an accessible place. it's

6:57 pm
a steep shop right. this is the hardest part of the ascent. but the desire to see the creative drives people to the woods and upwards. of three thousand and eighty me says the feeling of tiredness is beaten by the sight of the magnificent millennium old volcano. in these hard journey was worth it i'm now season on the brink of the crater and i'm looking at all this and thinking that i'm the only person in the well it could be so very moment is lucky enough to play the flute at the height of three thousand meters. everyone has their own as to why you
