overholt lakes of the years 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 saw and want to hear one can find many types of bacteria with absolutely different structures this is interesting of course. zone is especially protected site within the crew not to 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

scientists have defined their activity into four stages. 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 come. the ground's natural heat is schemes for producing electricity.

only sixty specialists member station. is monitoring its automatic systems around the clock and fixing and you know functions as soon as they occur. because they are in terms of environment protection it's a very clean production process would take steam from below the surface and send a mixture of waste steam and water back into the earth. steam is filtered from droplets and small particles. drive 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
