Ringback. I know has worked as a farmer a fisherman and a carpenter but he loves the glaciers and the volcanoes in the ice so much that he has found a way to enjoy icelands bizarre Natural Beauty almost every day he guides hikers climbers and fresh air enthuses through the lonely mountains today he is joined by sarah and sam 2 Business Consultants from london. This. Proof is famous in iceland has explored almost all the ice caves in the glass is. Moving. Today the volcano is clearly visible it doesnt look like a volcano butt. Like along Mountain Ridge time to carry on on force. On. Into that highness says that without spikes you would slit after 2 meters on the glass a rise almost up. To me. After one hour the 3 reached the crevice discovered by 50 year old i know some 10 years ago. Move and then the pua glace see our eyes shine as akamai rain and 10 cornice. The ice several tens of thousands of 1st fell. Then it was compressed and became broke out in transparent almost like glass. Roof. Sometimes there is streaks of fine layers of ash in the ice traces of volcanic eruptions from bygone centuries. People ask me why. You know. Well of course i can come up with some scientific explanation that i learned like yeah you know there. Is only that. You know this i am this reporter. Traveling this deep through. Blocked or go all the way through different by a. B. C. But via ishtar i have a simple explanation i really love this book got most i love it this is why he started to. Write you such a. Truth i said its because i love god loves me i love him but im happy. To fight. And then buy a gas stove im not a colorist he is. In its seen in the reflection of the flame on the wall and ceiling. The. Wind. Which was covered entirely by snow and ice erupted in 3062. 00 it covered almost the entire island with hot ash the clouds spread in the upper layers of the atmosphere and asheville across eastern iceland and parts of northern europe. Its estimated that the eruption cost millions of people worldwide. So that now in 20182000. And im not hopeful. But iceland is arming itself against another possible nature eruption. Is also an. The Emergency Warning System the volcano became active in november 27 tane with numerous earthquakes it somewhat changed shape and the readings taken at monitoring stations rose alarmingly scientists in the capital reykjavik asked residents on the south east of iceland to regulate check the values at the monitoring stations. Pharmacy google nasa and agreed to help. He knows how important precise data can be in the worst Case Scenario as. He checks g. P. S. Installations repairs solar panels and like today looks for signs that show whether the volcano is coming down or still looks menacing. The river has its source directly below the volcano. Every underground mumbling in the belly of the volcano is reflected in the melt water. Was. Robbed by measuring conductivity but remember it at all levels and when a lot of water comes directly from the volcano if there is ever have the highest Electrical Conductivity or group you know because. The right to do called had been in a deep sleep for almost 300 years so scientists have paid little attention. Since its a whitening that has changed instead of 9 measuring instruments there are now 26. Weekly meeting of the Crisis Response group in the capital reykjavik. Kristen your is in charge of the earth quite. Monitoring system e bay. Area talian colleague. Coordinates the volcano emergency teams. The data from the potential disaster area is analyzed by the Icelandic Meterological Office an innocent sounding name for the Crisis Response center which issues commands to all the countrys authorities rescue teams and air Traffic Control lives depend on the exact calculation of the wind force and direction quantity and composition of volcanic ash. Which is the timeline of the. International. You know various. Groups of them like to. Just seismologists geologists and volcanologists are currently focusing their attention on icelands highest elevation under which it has been bubbling flowing and vibrating since the end of 2017. In the volcano definitely has been and probably is the receiving newmark bomb this is music he is somehow reflecting these changes in the part of the system. And what we do currently in our 24 hour monitoring at all here we are keeping an eye at any moment on air for you just to be able to identify all those signals that might be over the shore there also showing that there are acceleration or rock changes in the system that might be pic or sorry for interruption. The icelanders take the threat from the Sleeping Giant so seriously that the intervals between emergency exercises have been shortened. Researchers will never forget november 27th seen the seismic signal sent out by the volcano were extreme it was like hes in a church bell with a sledgehammer. And cant even show it here on a laptop. Just. Its kind of obvious were just this is from 2005 and here in 2017 years that this is in place and it doesnt really matter what they look at if you look at their monthly earthquake if you look at the market there if you look at the energy released from the earthquakes like everything is going up so its just its obvious that something happened you know well whats happening and then all of a sudden here in 2017 it really starts to increase both the number of earthquakes and the size of the it will happen at some point but there will be an eruption. And the question is just one. I slammed is blessed with breathtaking nature rich fishing grounds and a unique energy source. For. Electricity production on iceland is 100 percent renewable a quarter of it is generated by Geothermal Power plants as this one between the International Airport and the capital reykjavik so much energy is produced that the export of surplus power is being considered laying an undersea cable to connect iceland to the european power grid becomes more and more feasible as Energy Prices increase but electricity and hot water are cheap on iceland an island with natural central heating an undoubted advantage of living on one giant volcano. But the downside of the constant eruptions. There are 100. 30 volcanoes in iceland 30 of them are active there have been 40 eruptions in the past 100 years. The fair about every farm has been located directly under the i. F. A. Local to volcano since 1906. It was taken over by all of her existence family in 1906 until ellie 2010 the farm supplied the family with an abundance of projects but then the volcano erupted. It 6 kilometers to the mouth of the volcano from here we can see the glaciers and the whole Mountain Range of. 3000 earthquakes were registered between the 3rd and 5th of march 2010 alone the following a russian exceeded all fears. Were maternal of we had 200. 00 animals in the stable. If you ask a vanguard caregiver for all the other thought oh my family was able to drive safely. I thought this is all we have left. We didnt imagine we would suddenly have to abandon the farm the land and the animals. After the disaster only opened a small private museum on his farm. Thousands of tourists from all over the world have already visited to learn about the dramatic events that took place in march and april 2010. Doesnt admit it but it seems as if what happened traumatized him but instead of opting for therapy he got over the shock by watching images of those dramatic events over and over again sometimes hundreds of times. You the story to not. Be putting their lives. On march the 20th 2010 the earth opened several kilometers east of here for your quote. Lover a message from an elongated future and flowed towards the northeast. At 1st it was an exciting up mostly harmless natural spectacle. But then on the morning of april 14th a 2 kilometer long crevasse broke open on the summit pushing the sub training world skywards the volcano was covered by a several 100 meter thick ice cap millions and millions of tons of melt water formed under the. A tidal wave pool into the valley. People had been evacuated in time and luckily there were no casualties. But the collision of ice and lava led to the lava cooling down within seconds and exploding an ash cloud it rose 9 kilometers into the sky and brought air traffic endurable to a standstill. In the immediate vicinity of the volcano a day turned into night. Sreng down. Covering every square meter of land and every remaining house every car every straight. Owner for it since farm was among those destroyed. But all of fur and his family survived and eventually they were able to return to the farm together with his wife he began to free the found from the ash a task which would take years. Around 2 thirds of all icelanders live in the reykjavik region and 150000 people live in the rest of the country d more than 2000000 tourists visit iceland every year and that increases the danger to human life notably in the event of an eruption. Since for you called geophysicists like magnus goodman cern from the university of reykjavik have been on the alert in the 1st few weeks the magma came close to the surface so close that the ice above it melted it all really and it was quite alarming because. Well we have not seen this type of precursors being sort of the 1st to really pick one. We have to be we have to be careful or we have to realize that we dont know everything beforehand and be on the alert for what may be ongoing and because there is a possibility of work for the staff to of his smoking that it will accumulate in the counter and then come out of a lot of the product that is the bulldozers that there would be very very swift it would happen very fast. For a start on the slopes it could be only 20 minutes from the start of that option and the work. Theres bits that its the main road and once it reaches the mental the mental describe. The magma has long the time to and so you get they tend to be more explosive than is. So. Good is for that reason strangely dangerous when an option happens. The small settlement of hof shows how dramatic the situation could become here everyone in a 10 kilometer area are expected to come to the combines nursery and school in an emergency evacuation would then take place for mail. In the past such Meeting Points was set up for several dozen iceland as today several 100 tourists could join them ainus son also goes to school here. But his house is a few kilometers to the east so he would have to go to another Meeting Point that means the family would be separated in emergency and. The school is located just below oya for you called. 5 children attend the school 3 of them a sick today including ainus son and so just 3 people take part in lessons including teacher and berlin enthuses magna hilda. You know has 2 lives 1st marriage and elsewhere in europe children build forests rel waves and castles here they work on erupting volcano has. Just said given its very dangerous just conked if i was here the volcano could destroy everything right here on this couple everything and the whole area oh. Yes its very dangerous unfortunately leica. And then the teacher explains the evacuation plan which is issued by the authorities one of the Meeting Points around the minutes in volcano is here in hoff everyone in the surrounding area has to go to the school immediately all icelanders a wound by text message or found call the teacher would be responsible for her pupils. She is dreading it you know that. I now has climbed his volcano over 300 times from the ring road below up to the summit. Today he wants to know what it looks like at the top. Scenes have been shot for several International Feature films on the bizarre claims he is below for you for your own called Batman Begins into stella or game of thrones. I now has sometimes watched the filming from a distance but hes less interested in the films in the volcano itself in good weather you can see how for iceland from the top. Yeah by now advises the pilot on way of base to land his helicopter up. To. Minus 15 degrees celsius. This is where the crater of the volcano is located. Its covered by a 600. 00 metre thick layer of ice. I mean i was able to measure that the ice was sinking. This is where the volcano would erupt and i decided to walk through the depression with his g. P. S. Device in order to provide scientists with accurate data but. He did this with a symbol of faith across. And by walking from north to south and then from west to east. You can see kind of the president down there this has just been forming the last year and probably different from here in my e. P. A. s measurement is it over 20 meters through honest like 600 to meet that 5th ice here so the heat has been melting very safe place here and has been dropping down you know for for the 1st year. Is definitely going on and on we have like every day there are earthquakes here but small but every few weeks we have like 3 rick that earthquakes you know but its trembling going on in the mountain for the last year like every day before that for many years you did not say it was a big news if theres any kind of earthquake here but now its like every every day and i very few weeks quite big earthquakes that many times theyve been feeding base ashtrays down in the farms and the whole thirsty of the loaf but. When will an as volcano erupt nobody knows but the iceland has been making careful preparations. When the volcano erupted in 2010 it was on the news for days the ash cloud reached a height of almost 10 kilometers if the earlier figure called were to erupt as violently as it did in the 14th century experts expected to spew out a 20 or 30 kilometer high column of the ash such an eruption would be around a 100 times stronger than the one in 2010. After the huge eruption in 1362. 00 the survivors gave the volcano and b entire region a new name. Raving it means desert or wasteland. Whats the secret to a perfectly fried getting the.
