'Mountain of destruction' is about to erupt

Scientists warn of Ruapehu, a volcano in New Zealand and have appeared in the movie "Lord of the Rings" movie, about to wake up.

The New Zealand Conservation Department requires people to stay away from the Ruapehu volcano, because the temperature indicators of the mountain suggest that it will most likely erupt in the next few weeks, Livescience reported.

A lake above Ruapehu crater. Scientists often base on the temperature difference between the lake and the soil below to predict the risk of eruption.

Ruapehu volcano last erupted in 2007.

"We think that the temperature below the lake a few hundred meters is about 800 degrees Celsius, but the temperature of the lake water is only about 20 degrees Celsius. The big difference shows that the volcanic mouth of the volcano has been filled. As the pressure rises to a certain level, the volcano will spray, " said Steven Sherburn, a volcanic researcher from New Zealand Geological Hazard Monitoring. .

However, experts have not been able to predict the size of the upcoming eruption from the Ruapehu crater."The Ruapehu eruption is only a matter of time. It could be a very light or quite strong eruption , " said Harry Keys, who is in charge of the Conservation Ministry's volcanic activities, told Radio. New Zealand radio.

Ruapehu, the largest active volcano in New Zealand, last erupted in 2007. It erupted violently every 20 to 50 years. In the three episodes of "The Lord of the Rings" , Ruapehu becomes the Descending Mountain (Mount Doom), the only place capable of destroying the ring of power of the dark lord.
