of iceland, this place is so dramatic. i mean look at that, how the mountains are just touching the sky, it s brilliant. ok, we re going from virtual volcanoes to a very real one now, with quite possibly the coolest story i have introduced in a long time. because scientists are using volcanoes to research how to deploy drones on mars. need i say more? my name is christopher hamilton, i am an associate professor at the university of arizona and a planetary vulcanologist. we are here in geldingadalir, which is a new volcanic eruption that has occurred in southern iceland in reykjanes. iceland provides an ideal testbed for being able to test different kinds of drones for mars because the wonderful characteristics of the environment are actually very similar to what we would expect on mars. so this has been a really exciting year for mars exploration. the drone ingenuity has demonstrated flight on mars for the very first time, being able to operate in a very thin atmosphere, about 1% of
return to their homes that already may be destroyed. reporter: where deadly lava flowed now relatively harmless. a week after one of the world s most dangerous volcanos erupted. cnn flew around it with scientists, including a vulcanologist, who had studied the mountain since 1995. they need a few more days to determine if the danger is gone. i m not ruling out the possibility of another eruption. i m thinking and i m saying that statistically, there is very few chances that this can happen. reporter: tedesco says the last eruption was impossible to predict. nearby residents remain on edge. the congolese city of goma is surrounded by not one but two active volcanos. i m in the crater of the second. any of these could erupt at any time, bringing death and

so it is really about the appropriateness of the location. not whether muslims can practice islam. martha: and you point out they don t have the money yet but if they get it we ll have a good idea where it came from, overseas trip the next couple of weeks and we ll see what happens, michael goodwin, thank you, great to have your thoughts on this, thank you. bill: we are learning interesting history today, scientists shed new light on the world s most famous catastrophe, and pompeii was destroyed, when mount vesuvius exploded and hundreds of bodies were found suspended in action, and an italian vulcanologist said they got it from a single massive heat blast, victims of suffocation are usually found flopped over, he describes and his research shows the mounted and the heat surge was so intense, it killed people in just seconds, and may have traveled nearly 12.5 miles. if it erupts again the current
when the market opens, airline stocks down, hotel stocks up because people have had this stay? what do you predict? that is a really good question. we have already seen some impact on the airlines, you know. some of those northern european airlines down 4%. but what is interesting is the airlines have been an incredible buy so far this year. up until april, the airline industry was double what the s & p was giving. we are not going to see that again. i think we will see some major bleeding. the problem is the uncertainy how long is this going to last? there is absolutely no way to know and that s what wall street hates the most. you know who knows, brenda? the vulcanologist who will be joining us shortly and i will ask that question so stand by. good luck.
