アイスランドの火と氷の謎: 気候変動と火山活動の関係[CNN10]

[Music] hello everyone welcome to CNN 10 happy Friday Eve it's Thursday November 14th I'm KY wire we've got a great show stacked for you today so let's get started now we begin in the land of Fire and Ice Iceland where a natural phenomenon is Raising some questions Iceland is one of the only countries in the world that has both glaciers and volcanoes there are 32 active volcanoes on the island nation that's only about the size of the states of Kentucky or Virginia or Ohio and we've seen an uptick in volcanic eruptions in Iceland in recent years scientists there are studying whether an increase in the melting glaciers due to Rising temperatures across the world could be causing more volcanic eruptions there CNN's Alisa Rafa has more a land of ice and fire Iceland is renowned for both its stunning volcanoes and Glaciers but scientists are now studying whether climate change is affecting the balance between these two natural wonders around 2 million tourists visit Iceland each year many hoping to see an active volcano showering red hot lava or get a glimpse of a cool Blue Glacier thousands of years old but researchers say there could be a connection between melting glaciers which are shrinking because of rising global temperatures and the frequency of volcanic eruptions Iceland is essentially one of the best places in the world to study this it's a natural laboratory because we have both volcanism and Glaciers so at the moment about 10% of Iceland is covered by glaciers and we have over 32 active volcanoes here scientists say the ASA volcano in Iceland's Central Highlands has risen about 80 cm in the past 3 years because of pressure building underneath it that's pushing the ground upwards the theory is that magma or pressurized gas under a volcano increases as glaciers melt because the heavy ice no longer weighs down the Earth's crust allowing magma to move more freely underground and those Subterranean pressure changes can permeate to areas which aren't directly under glaciers like Asia which is just North of the country's largest glacier but with recent iions in gvic a town in Southwest Iceland which not only put on a spectacular lava show but also forced the evacuation of the town's residents scientists are eager to learn more about what's triggering such volatility there are many benefits of volcanoes U all the geothermal geothermal heat we heat all the houses with geothermal so lots of benefits but now with the activity in Southwest Iceland where lot of property has been destroyed and people have needed to move out we are reminded about how uh hazardous volcano are preliminary results in one study show that in the last three decades magma beneath Iceland was produced at a rate two to three times what it would have been without ice loss a possible pressure cooker lurking in one of the world's most picturesque places 10-second trivia the Lou Museum in Paris was originally built to be a fortress an iron Factory a space Observatory or a museum Museum answer is Fortress the Lou the largest museum in the world contains more than 500,000 works of art it was originally commissioned as a fortress by King Philip II in 1190 ad to protect the City of Paris about 300 mil north of the Lou in Paris in the Netherlands we find another one of the world's most famous museums the reiches museum in the city of Amsterdam it's home to Dutch masterpieces by artists like vermier van go and Rembrandt and Rembrandt's world-renowned painting Night Watch is getting a touchup we're going to learn how a group of restorers are using careful techniques to discover the story behind the painting and how Rembrandt was able to put this enormous work together nearly 400 years [Music] ago Rembrandt's monumental painting The Night Watch has always been a star of Amsterdam's reich's Museum but now you can see the story behind the 1642 Masterpiece which measures at a ground 12 by 14 1/2 ft like never before after 5 years of exhaustive research a team of eight restorers are starting a grand public preservation project that's open for all to see we are now removing the old varnish uh of the night watch and uh we are using a synthetic non-woven tissue to do this uh and in this tissue we have a very limited amount of solvent uh we apply the tissue on the paint surface for a very limited amount of time and then take it off and with that we remove the bulk of the old varnish the removal of the old varnish aims to preserve the painting as well as to give Insight on its condition and rembrance techniques and process as well you can see on the paint surf there are many old discolored retouchings and they often have been applied very broadly covering original paint so we want to remove those and apply new uh fine retouchings it's really a next phase of operation Night [Music] Watch researchers at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute have discovered a new species of sea slug it lives in some of the deepest parts of the ocean the new species is nicknamed mystery Mullis it's the first known sea slug to swim in parts of the ocean that are 1,000 to 4,000 M below the surface and Untouched by sunlight scientists describe the new sea slug as having a gelatinous hood a flat tail with finger-like projections and colorful organs in the middle it can also light up with bioluminescence to scare off Predators researchers say they first spotted the species in February of 2000 off of California's Monterey Bay it was during a dive with a robotic camera and they've been studying it ever [Applause] since today's story getting a 10 out of 10 a new baby pygmy hippo joining the ranks of swoon-worthy Internet Sensations the cute calf comes to us not long after another baby pygmy hippo named mudang in Thailand stole our heart CNN's Jeremy Roth introduces us to haggus animal lovers and activists rejoice a brand new endangered pygmy hippo calf was just born and she is a CutiePie born at Scotland's Edinburg Zoo the pint-sized padm is just days old and is being closely monitored and get this her name is haggus this thing writes itself haggus is already a social media star of course leaving the platform formerly known as Twitter all up Twitter but maybe the best part her arrival provides a much-needed boom to the endangered pygmy hippo population which has reportedly dwindled to a mere 25 500 worldwide all right that's all we have time for for now our shout out today is going to West Jordan Utah all my friends at Sunset Ridge Middle School keep shining bright you are more powerful than you know thanks to all of you for spending part of your day with us here on CNN 10 we'll do it again tomorrow [Music] e e e
