"A series of eruptions around the world" ...Worst Volcanic Explosion Scenario [WYPIK]

On November 20, 2024, a volcano erupted on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland.

The red lava spreads out in an instant and the fire column rises terrifyingly.

The camera of passengers on the plane also contains its power.

Residents and tourists were evacuated and a state of emergency was declared.

It's already the seventh volcanic eruption in a year.

Experts pay attention to the 'glacier' that has covered Iceland.

The glacier that pressed the volcano with enormous weight melts rapidly due to global warming, and magma that was suppressed erupts.

The problem is that it's not just about Iceland.

Iceland is visited by countless tourists because of its beautiful natural scenery and aurora.Just like the nickname

'land of fire and ice', there are more than 30 active volcanoes alone.

About half of active volcanoes are trapped under glaciers, which make up about 10% of the country.

But recently, unusual signs have been detected.

The volcano, which erupted once every four to five years on average, has exploded seven times in a year.

In addition, it is much more powerful.

In some cases, a dormant volcano, which had not been active for 800 years, exploded five times in six months.

Experts have pointed to 'ice rivers' as the cause of the rapidly frequent volcanic eruptions.

Severe global warming has killed 16% of Iceland's glaciers in the last 130 years, half of which have been found to have melted in decades.

As glaciers shrink, the pressure on the crust weakens, making magma beneath the volcano easier to make and erupt more easily.

It's the same principle that when you open the cork of champagne, the pressure inside the bottle is lowered, and the liquid is poured out.

Indeed, after the end of the last ice age, volcanic activity in Iceland increased by a factor of 50.

Icelandic volcanologist Michel Parks explained that magma's accumulation rate over the past 30 years is two to three times faster than assuming glaciers have not melted.

By the end of this century, there is a scary prospect that Icelandic glaciers will be reduced by half.

Iceland in a national crisis beyond mere natural phenomena.

But it's not just a crisis in Iceland.

There are about 240 active volcanoes and potential active volcanoes worldwide under ice or within a 5km radius.

As many as 160 million residents live within 100 kilometers of these volcanoes.

When a volcano erupts, it also emits a huge amount of greenhouse gases.

As the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases, global warming accelerates, and warming melts glaciers and erupts volcanoes again, repeating an unbreakable vicious cycle.

Studies have shown that a recent explosion of an undersea Tonga volcano introduced 150 million tons of water vapor into the stratosphere, causing warming.

There are at least 100 volcanoes in Antarctica.

Severe global warming is melting 150 billion tons of Antarctic ice a year.

Volcanoes exposed on the missing ice.

It's not strange whenever it erupts.

The explosion of an Antarctic volcano accelerates the melting rate of ice and causes a series of eruptions of volcanoes around the world.

It's the worst-case scenario discussed in academia.

Volcanic eruptions that are more fearful because of the uncertainty of when and where they will erupt.

We are now facing an unprecedented crisis.
