  1. I was stationed in Bamberg for two years in the 90s, traveled all over Germany and never heard about it. And I grew up not far from Mount Saint Helens!

  2. You learn something everyday as I didn't even know Germany had volcanoes🌋!I think that Iceland and Italy are the only European countries with active volcanoes.The Efiel National Park is high on my list to visit since it became an International Dark Skies Park obviously too light at this time of year so maybe September if it's not blown up!It'd be nice if that race track was blown up one big bang apart from constant soul destroying noise as those who hate the natural world enjoy themselves.

  3. And now you know where that big thing in the center of Paris came from.. Who knew volcanoes could build such precise towers with elevators and steps and all? Prehistoric German engineering!

  4. So basically we have natural sources of,c02, and methane in nature which make our emissions look paltry!
    Global warming won't be stopped with wind power and electric cars!

  5. Best to plan for at least 1 million dead and injured. Mother Nature is not vicious. Living beings in the way of the natural forces suffer. Humans are not any more valuable than the microbes, insects and animals. We live where we can and we have to flee when there are warnings from Mother Nature.

  6. … as a German Biologist – this is NOT about ” Germany” – it is tectonic activity – and a source for geothermy – when we start studying how to engineer Earth Heat – and better predict eruptions – and one day use those forces to prevent eruptions and use the POWWER – there are no courageous engineers …only those religious activists preventing everything…

  7. I love watching DW channels documentaries and a American .I never knew that Germany had volcanoes like Hawaii does. DW is the best I've been watching their channel since Nov /2019.

  8. Well I was always taught that the volcanoes in the Eifel were extinct last erupting more than 100,000 years ago. However, I suspected that the region was active at least somewhat 10,000 years ago. But I was off by an order of several magnitudes based upon this documentary. When I first learned of plate tectonics as a child in the 1960's a new science I wanted to become a volcanologist but never had the opportunity to study science and life took me in a total opposite direction. Things change in science, things you were told were gospel are being proven wrong like the age when native Americans first set foot in American (foot prints prove they were 10,000 years earlier) and more things keep getting up ended. Well I might be a quack but my hunch about the Eifel was right.

  9. Just when I had decided it was safe to migrate to a place which didn't have any of nature's excesses. Seems more like a product of Teutonic ingenuity.

  10. They should hired the geezer to talk about geyser for the pun potential.

    I guess in Germany they would need ein Geier spricht über den Geysir. But that would only insult vultures.

  11. Group of scientists are amazing! This documentary is very informative. It's really amazing that our earth has the capacity to breath in form of geezer! That's a wow! Thanks DW!

  12. Interesting documentary 🤔.
    I thought the certain regions in The South Asian belt (Indonesia, Philipines et al), the Pacific Islands (Fiji, Samoa) Central African countries (DRC) and Atlantic South Western Islands such as Hawaii… are more predisposed to Volcanic Eruptions…
    Always a learning curve. Great Job DW.👏

  13. I live in the Netherlands, in Groningen, not far from Germany and from that huge German volcano, which destroyed everything around 13000 years ago. I'm shocked. I didn't know about that eruption, and I hope it'll not happen again in the coming years (at least, not before I'll leave this region).

  14. I'm from the Philippines, home of tons of volcanoes. For a person who is visit Taal volcano during its minor eruption during 2021, it was a chill to watch from the lakeshore because it just spewing out smoke. But in 2020 its a different one, a full blown explosion was happened and it rains ashfall along the scattered clouds. Having it experienced for the first time in our lives, we had to clean the ashes in the roof asap, because when it rains it will be hard as concrete and the roof will collapse due to the sheer weight of it. Ashfall can be used as fertilizer thou.

    As one German tourist said that he visited the Taal and Mayon volcano, he was so fascinated about it. He said that Germany has no volcanoes…. until this video appeared. I'm quite actually surprised that volcanoes exists there.
