Svartstein Mountain shortly after eruptingGNN Breaking News
"Good evening everyone I'm Alison Copperfield with breaking news from Skaltholm. Moments ago a massive volcanic eruption occurred on one of the nation's islands. Here's a live look at it now. Wow... that is incredible. We've got Asseri Koponen, a seismologist from the University of Ensrup on the line now. Asseri what can you tell us about this eruption?"
"Yes, Alison. This is unprecedented. Svartstein mountain has been dormant for more than a hundred years now with the last eruption happening back in 1906. That was just a little one compared to this eruption. Now we knew that the mountain was seeing some more recent activity but no one predicted an eruption of this size."
"Of course Asseri. Is there anything you can tell us about the impacts of an eruption like this?"
"Well to start we recorded the vibrations here in Ensrup I can't imagine what it must've felt like in Skaltholm. An eruption like this is going to have some long-term effects especially on the air quality in the region as well as the climate. Oh wow, it looks like... the clouds from the volcano can be seen on the horizon here. Wow.
"Thank you Asseri we'll let you go. I'm also joined by economist Stefan van der Kaa. Stefan, I think there's gonna be some economic effects from this one. Am I right?"
"Absolutely Alison, the Svartstein Mountain is situated on the Gulf of Salon which is a major shipping route. So I can see this volcano not only disrupting flights in and around the Storsnian and Nezlotahan continents but disrupting international shipping as well."
"Thanks Stefan. We're gonna go to a quick commercial break here and then we'll be right back with continuing coverage of the Svartstein eruption. Stay tuned.
