Exploring Volcanoes

In 1973, the small fishing village of Hemay in Iceland experienced a significant volcanic eruption. The residents, aware of the risks, evacuated quickly. Ingeniously, they used fire hoses to cool and redirect the lava, saving the village and creating a harbor breakwater. After five months, the eruption ceased, leaving the village buried in ash, which took years to clear. The video explores the nature of volcanoes, their causes, and common locations.
