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. Like a Long Mountain ridge time to carry on on force. But. On. Into that harness says that without spikes you would slip after 2 meters on the glass here i suppose almost up. To me. After one hour the 3 reached the crevice discovered by 50 year old i know some 10 years ago. You and then the pure glazier eyes shine. Aqua marien and turquoise. The ice several tens of thousands of years old 1st fell. Then it was compressed and became broke out and transparent almost like glass removed. Removed. Sometimes there are streaks of fine layers of ash in the ice traces of volcanic eruptions from bygone centuries. People ask me why. You know its. Some scientific explanation that i learned like yeah you know theyre. Allowed you know this i am this reporter. Traveling this deep through all their aims are blocked or go all the way through living by. But violate ishtar i have a simple explanation i really love this blue collar god notion i love it this is why he said the death like that you know why you so exactly got to wave length allowed to truth i say its because i love god loves me i love you but im happy. To fight. And then by a gas stove im not the color as he is. Its seen in the reflection of the flame on the wall and ceiling. Which was covered entirely by snow and ice erupted in 1362 it covered almost the entire island with hot ash the cloud spread in the upper layers of the atmosphere and. Eastern iceland and parts of northern europe. Its estimated that the eruption cost the lives of millions of people worldwide. Dont have that. And so now in 20182000. And im not hopeful. But iceland is arming itself against another possible nature option. 2 is also an. The Emergency Warning System the volcano became active in november 27th tamed with numerous earthquakes it somewhat change shape and the readings taken at monitoring stations rose alarmingly scientists in the capital reykjavik asked residents on the southeast of iceland to regularly 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 that low levels and what a lot of water comes directly from the volcano if it ever have the highest Electrical Conductivity are good 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. Christin your own study is in charge of the earth quite. Monitoring system e. Her italian 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 countries 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 time line of the. Injection. You know various. Forms 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. They say is missing the is somehow reflecting this these changes in that part of the system. And what we do currently in our work 24 hour monitoring at all here we are keeping an eye and a moment on air vehicle just to be able to identify all those signals that might be over the shore theyre also showing that there are acceleration or rob changes in the system that might be a pickle story for an eruption. 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. I cant even show you here laptop. Its kind of unfair. This is from 2005 and here in 2017 its just this is in and it doesnt really matter what they look ringback at if you look at them on fear earthquake if you look at the market there if you look at the Energy Release from the earthquakes like everything is going up so its just its obvious that something happened when you look at whats happening and i wasnt here in 2017 it really starts to increase. The size of the it will happen at some point the there will be an eruption. And the question is just one. Iceland is blessed with breathtaking nature rich fishing grounds and a unique energy source. d electricity production in 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 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 and 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 fairchilds every farm has been located directly under the i. F. A. Locals volcano since 1906. It was taken over by all of her added since family in 1906 until early 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 ruction exceeded all fears. Order mcgurk that we had 200 animals in the stable. If you ask of them got carefully before all the others thought oh my family was able to drive safely. My. I thought that is all we have left. Of him 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 i pulled 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. Just to get the story or not to. Be putting that. On march the 20th 2010 the earth opened several kilometers east before your fellow called. Lanfear a message from an elongated future and flowed towards the northeast. At 1st it was an exciting out 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 trainee and world skywards to the volcano was covered by a several 100 meter thick ice cap millions of 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 day turned into night everywhere parts plash rained down covering every square meter of land and every remaining house every car every straight. Owner for exit signs farm was among those destroyed. But all of her and his family survived and eventually they were able to return to the farm together with his wife cruz ne he began to free the farm from the ashleigh 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 europe for you called geophysicists like magnus good munson from the university of reykjavik have been on the alert in the 1st few weeks the magma came close to the surface or so close that the ice above it melted rolled really was quite alarming because. Well we have not seen this type of precursor being sort of the 1st really big one. We have to be we have to be careful or be help too. I realize that we dont know everything before home and beyond what may be ongoing and because there is a possibility of work for the staff to of his noting that it will accumulate in the county and then come out of a flood and the characteristic of those is that there would be very very swift it would happen very fast. On the slopes it could be only 20 minutes from the start of that option and. Theres at least that its the main road and once it reaches the mental the mental to squat. The magma has longer time to evolve and so they get they tend to be more explosive than this. So part of the of that is for that reason strongly dangerous when an option happens. This 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 from there. 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 a year for you. 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. Look past us 1st to solve a marriage and elsewhere in europe children build forests rel ways and castles here they work on erupting volcano was. Just this joke defeated its very dangerous because it does count if i live here the volcano could destroy everything right here on this couple everything and the whole area oh oh 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 missing 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 if 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 places below or you for your own called Batman Begins interstellar or game of thrones. Are 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 from iceland from the top. Yeah by now advances the pilot away of best to land his helicopter. 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 and. 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. He did this with a symbol of faith across. And by walking from north to south and then from west to east. You can sneak up with the president down there this has just been forming the last year and probably different from here in my g. P. S. Measurement is a little over 20 meters. On this like 600th meet that thick ice here so the heat has been melting very safe place here and has been dropping down you know for for that us this. Is definitely going on and on we have hot and like every day there are earthquakes here but small but every few weeks we have like 3 rick that earthquakes you know but this trembling going on in the mountain for the last year like every day before that for many years you did not see 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 feeling this ash face down in the farms on the whole 1st year below 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 ash such an eruption would be around a 100 times stronger than the one in 2010.
