A scientist dropped himself into a deep magma storehouse inside the volcano Thrihnukagigur

Known as a "sleeping volcano" because it can be operated again at any time, Thrihnukagigur is said to have helped create the Atlantic Island that we call Iceland when it erupted the last time. 3,000 years ago. Now, 50 years after the first human being entered the universe, people also visited the only magma store on the planet now safe to discover.

Volcanic researcher of Iceland University, Dr. Freysteinn Sigmundsson, 44, conducted this discovery to learn more about Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Last April, Eyjafjallajokull caused a global uproar when it erupted, causing many aircraft to be unable to land, hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded.

Dr. Sigmundsson described the feeling as the first scientist to witness the magma store from the inside: ' I feel small compared to the power of nature' - he said - ' I am deeply moved by the beauty and the beauty. peace inside the volcano. As a volcanic researcher, I feel honored to be able to observe with my own eyes within its operating system. '

By entering the magma store of volcanoes, scientists can learn invaluable lessons about natural power that are capable of devastating but also extremely important.
