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 benny cus 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 is thorsten love. Thats the fuzzy, thats your 0 guys. Deals page guys, rupturing is unique. I thought just as age of all kind of corruption is you name with us, is the rupture unleashes powerful. Volcanic forces deep beneath the full as Carbon Dioxide from the fluid. Magma meets the ground water. 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 ponds in it, but thats gone. Yeah, you can really see and feel the whole volcanic process obviously. So that helps you understand the pressure and power behind it and then shoot another volcano erupt in the eiffel monkey, and i can get them to Colorado Springs 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 its 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 distant past. The launch of, for thats a 1000 johns 13000 years ago. This landscape didnt 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 is 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 rhine river, which already existed fact then which cut the river off the ash and debris swept over everything and left behind a blanket, several meters deep, th, and stepped on. Its for the fringes of what kind of poles this old stone describes. This one kind of corruption time, the rhine, and created 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. All schools 1st slopes and i felt kind of corruption and then a gigantic quarter search that went all the way down the ryan valley into todays netherlands. The as the blue products flood zone done with this volcanic explosions and it was more an explosion than interruption. This explosion, 13000 jews ago, left us traces as well, and you can see them on the wall here as, as rows. These are, this is like a history book and we can study of the centrally read had this volcanic explosion happened to cut off each single layer. Theres 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. It doesnt say english this year, no model by so and so, and whats crazy is that such and theyre usually shows several tens of thousands of years with a few buttons. Even 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 novembers, or any kids are saying, oh see if i pull the stone notes, this is different. So its not, and so we and a we night with the red, blue mineral expelled from the mcmahon. The eiffel is one of the most important sites for routine, the weld. Okay. How about the new i see my me that be fine. If you look at its under a magnifying glass, its really beautiful. Levine gets bad vans. Hes part of the unesco volcanic eiffel, g o cock hoffman and hes team and developing an app to allow virtual travel through the volcanic landscape. Everything is precisely scanned and measured the use parking tom. I assume were using the volcanic eiffel jewel park as a reference model. As the very 1st jewel park in germany thats offers a completely digital turning package. And all points of interest in this box can be viewed and the soft tickets are up to the app works with super precise satellite data, much more exact than basic navigation or hiking apps. The 100. Again, it is a one to 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 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 are 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 aspect, once in the thing its background shows all the settlements, this kind of corruption on earth. And its been geologically proven that there were different interruption phases. You have to imagine its not like an exploding powder cake, but like several atomic bombs on it. And thats how powerful the home from the dentist a lot of the big i know its always close as long as the so what im the kind of just we country lots of pressure, russian 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 dont want to paint to har. Scenario bush of what happened. 13000 years ago happened again today in a densely populated region like the rhineland. Thats the truth, would be catastrophic island soon as triple safari. 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 cause such disasters. Professor klaus right you to is researching possible consequences of a fresher option of the lake loc volcano to look me able to. And so i only gave them detail it would be a very high eruption column design of the app, which would be closed off immediately. Because like a landing simply would the possible good. Then youd have to see how far and how quickly the rushing cloud spreads, depending on the wind direction to move into the belief of class. And then wed have to consider whether vice was still usable with a Critical Infrastructure like trains and the power grid still worked. 20 sutton 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, most people have settled in the valleys and so there are only 2 ways out and forwards and backwards. There is no other option to buy the house to come forward until they sign because it gets sent to the dispute. You must be losing the change. I will talk to you 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 enough quick via the business im gonna see, does nobody the that is it even possible to prepare for such a disaster . The people who youve explained the order for evacuation plans or rules of conduct, what people should do in a specific situation. Thats difficult, right now. There are no plans in place like that. That may be a mistake, but i dont think its absolutely necessary yet. Unlike with flooding, a volcanic eruption allows a Response Time because its less than the outside. Volcanic eruptions come with ample warning in the form of trim is a gas emissions. At lake law, its easy to forget that the ground below has still not settled. The old vocab and create 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 were buried on the grounds of todays maria last abbey. In the creek on the 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 tune deals as instruct cliff is interesting to achieve a scientist. The system affects show that there is still a volcanic activity here. And its not only ever molten rock that comes out of the ground just involved in the its mostly gas costs. And this is why the amount of escaping gas is continuously monitored. The via see and for stack and gas. If we saw a gas emissions increasing, which would be a sign that there is activity underground, perhaps indicating a coming boat 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 depths indicate that meg, my easy motion, but there in those to the signal. So i thought that the volcano was preparing for another eruption, the further west, the famous monce, a residence of hell volcano, its shaped the landscape of the deep fines of the eiffel divine failed mon, you down is locally cold the month of the dead. Because of the neighboring symmetry with its close cry to ring the pool, the amount is the deepest, but more than 70 meters. It seems bush unless the the sofa told her so cloudy, a v by gibbet. The shelton marin ma is the most beautiful. She is published a book of underwater photos from the crater lakes, which she worked on for years. The fact there under the trees, there are always fish on one side. I can to take there because i smoke perch always hide under the trees among the branches. Thats nice to, im always happy to see the dos and she comes here again and again, even when the temperature is dropping, the full. But its 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 method 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 at assume that its 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 float quietly, they will swim right by you by common. And when you die kind spot page by car and tension the hatch, theres really a lot to do as a smokeless that fits 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, thats fine. 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. What do you see . How the sharp dropped continues under the short i will for one, what we need to be aware that it could go off at any time. Thats just the way it is. And so, so the, and thats also the last direction was 12 or 13000 years ago. Scientists say one should occur roughly every 10000 years. So in fact, were overdue. The mazda in volcanic cones, grace the landscape within magical ch um and to test to the fiery past of the volcanic going, so the volk and i can give it to you. Still every way, even if its not always a parent at 1st glance, the in the volcanic going full region, the earths surface is rising volume about one millimeter per year. Even more in some places. These can only be measured from high in the air. Whats causing this . Is it the gas is rising from the magnet chambers, deep, underground pool, hot springs, the, when the food comes to the i, full traces of possible kind of captivity can be found in the topography of the landscape. The bustled columns, rise from summit, 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 cooled. The in the quarries of the volcanic only full 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, collins. 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 years ago of this concept, and this whole valley filled up with lava follicles. The geologists are still looking for the old of back valley, down here, and then all of the others left off the the lava flows solidified and phone the wide, 30 major stick layer of basso. Heres the funds of the companies there. For example, you can tell the difference, and down below you can see the best phone to there and further up visually where it gets more reddish. You can see that there are a lot of ask you at all that you can really tell, but there is of hard to just look back there. Thats the bustle to there. You can see the love of the. The 1969 cory work has stumbled across a sensation. A blast released a huge rock formation from the cory will 15 meters up the head 1st. They werent 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 laid there for some time. Finally, they were just 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 to them. How do you move a stone, measuring almost 5 meters across, over the fields from the quarry to the village . We dont watch the wind. Theres one up on up to a lot of pieces of vintage lined up as they waited until the ground had frozen over the winter with the eyes and nothing to them to fly. Then they welded to be gone and plates together and rolled the bomb onto them. Without telling me that i that should be, it took a large caterpillar and a bulldozer, crushing from behind to move the boulder across the field to where they wanted it decided i dont understand them. But where did the giant reel 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 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 sticker and stick before it was finally encased in molten lava, where it remained until it was exposed in the quarry the today its 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 last abbey was built mainly as of dunk, bustled and light tough. The at austin cathedral tough is even found on the night sided central structure. The famous caroline, gee, and octagon, the v. Tenix stone from the nearby only only field was also shipped along the rhine to help build colognes cathedral and ice old 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 disprove. The stone like tough promise 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, with all kenneth corruptions, full 100000 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 on woods at the construction of cathedrals and volt ribbing you realize this is i do material lightweight. Enable to bed. Heavy load is a nice, why is the humans but i deal for the slender arches stretching toward the heavens. The worlds of handbook also dealt with tough from vibe in the starting masons gave the stone and its characteristic surface texture with him is shes those and which is the po was 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 lava and then cuts into rough sizes for the Stone Masonry steinmetz situation. Extortion through yourself. I hope to 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. Troops gushed each by a tough is a soft stone made up of solidified default kind of ash, depending on where they are found and see. The layers can be course are quite fine. Good guns, pine wood, dungy, jose yet does eat mine 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 apologize. The vibe in was able to afford its own water and sewer and Network Earlier than on the villages and had electricity as early as 1915. But the demand for tough fell from the 19 sixtys on woods and the boom ended today. The many tough houses still bear witness to the villages foam of prosperity, the, the many volcanic cousins of the iphone, windows only used as quarries. Some of them still provide Living Spaces today, or 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 and was a panorama old brook console, for example, seats probably 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 hes best known for the famous race course 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 under the ass votes on which famous racing drivers have done the lapse line, messes of love, a vessel from the quantities of the volcanic ice. So the state, your ability, even when burying a numerous loads, made them the ideal foundation, the today, its 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. Its 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 sets the smaller apart from others is the form of its crate to rim. Eats very steep and so exposed in some places that it makes, but just the right take off. Slug. Above the steep curved crater ring, you can slide perfect circles like the wind is rise and with the views like this, its like a dream come true. The. The volcanic calling the police a 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 shift 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 o, a pock knows where these trays come from. In the case of the guys in under now, its 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 month. Oh is the see me and we know from chemical studies that this, the to 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 waters, also contain the breath of the volcanoes and heighten the would raise these celtic for willing spring. The does, this is here. This is the dash side to phase its carbonated, its fusing and also it has a very, very high i am content on top. In fact, its the mineral water with the highest i am content in the volcanic iphone isnt got. If you end up with con josh side, garalie stein down, almost every community here has its own spring. The settlements grew up around them. These at least this odds and so mine and been of these waters contain minerals and the guns and, and im 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 it scares me like you own. So please today the vote. Kennedy call the police known for its many varieties of curative mineral water. The rou, like in 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 if the dam was damaged . Say, why a powerful this quick. This is why deep down in the dam daily inspections that 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, and normal. They may not dam is functioning properly. But what is the nearby volcanic awful stance to rumble . If the volcanoes reawaken the 1st quakes would be the 1st signs we are leading to my inbox. When thats when were 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 2 lines, an important measuring station else console stands and assigned valley of the most a river. The doctor bridget took snuff by a intruding heads. Besides my logical observatory 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 castle, directly on the rocky ground. The university has installed a highly sensitive science, mcgrath it registers every vibration, no matter how gentle the, lets see, im the i for im 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 since my form mentioned bonnie muslims especially, oh, thats this distant trema. Exactly. Isnt that something let us give us 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 for nice thing, one of the calls that could be this course to be most of the strongest quick we have reported with instruments was in 2007 near. Besides, which had a magnitude of 3. 00 and was felt over a great distance and the found on the bottom of it was in 2013. This one is my logical station recorded an unusual phenomenon that is occupied the scientific world ever since. First trim is from deep beneath the eiffel, the doctor keeps me in the dark based with the deepest quakes ever recorded in germany. And they had a special signature where 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 volcano is becoming active. These raises questions. The impression given him was not to somebody in which areas should we actually expect this mainly in the area of like laugh 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 at all to see a goal shed by size make geologist, professor russia, to at the federal academy of Civil Protection for his work. The measurements are important to indicate is the, the beam syntex kind of things i knew i should to go in these earthquakes. Very small trim is open ended the interesting 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 make signals that effectively full cost. This maxima rise de jesus the might be some lockman of duke and the visa, 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 for the iso must be a moving time. This is by steve. This idea of what were doing here at the moment is passive. Were just listening to the us and trying to interpret signal noise coming from different depths. This could hear me now. Lets 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 and guns window she the with us as the specified move and thats what were working on. And why the eiffel is a Real Laboratory for us. A moving Research Project and why it is actually a jewel of research of 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 the cost in spies, the election lability is the name of the game foss with a twist and a whole lot of fun. The integration is combining the best of yesterday with a fine and stuff today to get started. So wait, lets begin rev in 30 minutes on d. W. Inside gaza. Its been more than 100 days since the last here attacks on israel dw reporter of mohammed continued 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 stopped. In 19 minutes on d w. The faithful encounter in the late 19 seventys former concentration camp inmates numerous meisner meant the man who had to maintain him go stump dog, known as the beast of sylvie, bore shame on you. Tell the truth to use nature. Wagner was dead and investigation concluded that it was suicide. Of the fire give rise to down really how to go see starts january 27th on the the business data was in use and these are tough stories. The u. S. And u. K. Have carried out new joins strikes against the rebels in yemen, including the capital. So now, according to his statements, the targets that influence the underground storage sites in our military locations. It follows repeated attacks by the who the group on shipping in the red c u.
