※ This video is part of <Documentary Prime - Volcano Part 2: The Truth About the Great Baekdu Mountain Eruption> broadcast on February 25, 2020. Baekdu Mountain - Waking Up from a Thousand-Year Sleep. We learn about the past, present, and future of the Baekdu Mountain eruption, including the signs and possibility of Baekdu Mountain's eruption, and the impact it would have on the Korean Peninsula in the event of a volcanic eruption. 'A Tsunami Disaster at Baekdu Mountain?' A small, peaceful fishing village was hit by a tsunami. Nearly 30,000 people died and were missing, and over 20,000 buildings were completely destroyed. It was the worst disaster in the history of Japanese earthquake observation. Professor Taniguchi of Tohoku University in Japan, who has been studying Baekdu Mountain for over 10 years, predicts that if Baekdu Mountain erupts, a phenomenon similar to a tsunami may occur. What is the basis for the claim that Baekdu Mountain, which has been known only as one of the world's most famous mountains, could bring about the worst disaster ever? In order to learn directly about the possibility of a Baekdu Mountain eruption, I visited Baekdu Mountain with Professor Jang Yoon-deuk of Kyungpook National University's Department of Geology. 'The Korean Peninsula, Unending Volcanic Activity' In the past, the Korean Peninsula was a land of fire with active volcanic activity. Dokdo, Ulleungdo, and Jeju Island, which are considered the best tourist destinations in Korea, are all islands formed by volcanic activity, and even the southern inland region was a volcanic zone. In pursuit of traces of volcanic activity on the Korean Peninsula, I visited Juwangsan National Park with Professor Hwang Sang-goo of Andong National University's Department of Earth Sciences and captured the natural beauty created by the volcanic eruption on camera. How did the intense volcanic activity of 70 million years ago calm down? Why is Baekdu Mountain the only one still seething? 'What effect will the Baekdu Mountain eruption have on South Korea?' "The day will disappear within a radius of several hundred kilometers." “Respiratory diseases can also affect health..” _ Director Jeong Yong-seung of Korea Atmospheric Research Institute “Human casualties and crop damage are expected to be enormous...” _ Researcher Song Chang-geun of the National Institute of Environmental Research What would happen if Mt. Baekdu actually erupted? Based on the testimonies of scientists, we reconstructed the worst disaster that could happen to us in 3D. Professor Yoon Seong-hyo of Pusan ​​National University predicted that if the wind blows north or northeast from Mt. Baekdu, volcanic ash or pumice could spread south. Of course, the possibility is slim. However, the probability that this time, the Great East Japan Earthquake, would also occur was very slim. It is very dangerous to think that it is not a big deal just because the probability is low, so it is important to prepare in advance. Mt. Baekdu erupts! How should we prepare? ✔ Program name: Documentary Prime - Volcano Part 2 The Truth About the Massive Eruption of Mt. Baekdu ✔ Broadcast date: 2020.02.25
