The dirt road in front turned into an asphalt road, which surprised Yang Jing and them. Howard smiled and explained: "there is a small peninsula in front, called matupitt, where there is a residential settlement with about 900 people living. This road leads to that settlement."
After a pause, fearing that Yang Jing would not understand, Howard continued to explain: "In the past, Rabaul occupied the East Bank of Simpson Bay. From the place where we just turned to the southernmost end of the peninsula, it was the east city of Rabaul, which was also the main city of Rabaul. In those days, my headquarters was stationed here. Alas, do you see the flat area ahead?"
Yang Jing and his colleagues were surprised that a piece of land appeared in front of them, which looked very flat. Along the way, apart from the hard volcanic ash on the mountain, they rarely saw such a large and flat area.
Chris hesitated a little and said, "Mr. Howard, was this an airport before?"
Howard put one palm on his hand and hit a loud finger with the other hand. "Mr. Barton is still smart. Yes, it used to be Rabaul airport. During World War II, it was a Field Airport built by Japan. Later, it became Rabaul airport after World War II. But the volcanic eruption twenty years ago completely razed the airport."
Yang Jing looked up at the tawulu volcano less than two kilometers southeast of the airport. He also felt that the Japanese devils were a little brain crippled. You said you didn't find a good place to repair the airport. You had to build the airport at the foot of an active volcano. Isn't that looking for death?
"If we don't start tomorrow, I can take you to the Rabaul War Memorial. There are many precious photos of World War II in the memorial. One of them is very interesting. It takes the scene of the Japanese pilot flying the Zero fighter at the airport, and the tawulu volcano acts as the background behind the pilot."
Hearing this, Yang Jing's face couldn't help showing a strange look. If the devil pilot knew that the volcano that served as his background directly destroyed 80% of Rabaul 50 years later, I don't know what he would think.
Of course, if the volcano erupted suddenly at that time, the US Australian coalition forces would be able to take the pull-down Bauer without bloodshed!
Along the way, Yang Jing finally understood why the Germans and I built the main urban area on the East Bank of Simpson Bay. In fact, the wide and flat area here is much larger than Beicheng district. The widest distance from the coastline to the foot of the mountain is less than 500 meters, but in the East, the narrowest place is about one kilometer wide and the widest land The square is even more than two kilometers.
Although the geographical conditions here are good, it's a pity that it's too close to the two active volcanoes. If the two active volcanoes sneeze casually, they can bring disaster to the city.
A group of five people rode bicycles to the old airport site. Howard said: "Further south is the settlement. There is nothing to see. If you are interested, we can climb the dead volcano in the east of tauru volcano. That location is the best observation point to enjoy the scenery around Rabaul. Every time I return to Rabaul, I will climb the baai mountain."
Guo Xiaoxiang hesitated and asked, "Captain, are you sure that the mountain is all right? In case, I mean, if the volcano erupts, won't we all die?"
Yang Jing shook her head helplessly and said: "Fat man, you are not young. How can you ask such a low-level question? Even if a volcano is going to erupt on a large scale, there will be various signs long in advance. Before any volcano erupts, there will be extremely strong signs. Don't expect a volcano that has been silent for many years without any eruption signs It will erupt before it comes out. That's impossible. "
"Well, brother, you won. I was really mentally disabled just now..."
Yang Jing is right. Volcanic eruptions are different from earthquakes. It is difficult for human beings to predict earthquake eruptions, but they can easily predict volcanic eruptions. The reason is that any active volcano will have obvious or even strong eruption signs before eruption, which often appear a few days or even dozens of days in advance, which seems to remind people , if you don't want to die, stay away from me. Man, you can't help erupting
Even though one of the two volcanoes in front of us has only erupted for 24 years, it is still quiet and there is no sign of eruption at all.
However, Howard's words moved Yang Jing's mind.
In addition to climbing a mountain in Mount Hagen a few days ago, Yang Jing has been floating on the sea or flying in the sky these days. To be honest, Yang Jing really wants to feel the spectacle of climbing high and looking far again.
In particular, the dead volcano named baai mentioned by Howard is located on the coast. Although it is only 500 meters high, it can be imagined that once it can reach the top, it will definitely see the spectacular scenery of sea and sky.
Instead of talking to Guo Xiaoxiang, Yang Jing asked Chris and Adrian, "what's up? Shall we just climb?"
Chris spread his hands and said with a smile, "boss, I have no opinion. The mountain of anti earthquake is not high. I can climb it in half an hour at most."
Adrian: "you're the boss. I'll listen to your arrangement."
Yang Jing waved his excited hand: "let's go and climb the dead volcano."
They rode to the southeast along the flat airport. On the way, they saw a very flat dirt road. After walking along this dirt road, they saw tawulu volcano, the culprit who destroyed Rabaul 24 years ago.
This active volcano has no temper now. It is quiet like a little girl. However, although the mountain is less than 200 meters high, and the crater above is still missing a large piece, no one dares to underestimate the volcano.
As long as it is an active volcano, it is one of the most terrible things on the planet. It is quieter than anything if it doesn't erupt, but once it erupts, it is more irritable than anything. Absolutely no one can afford to provoke it.
Moreover, although the volcano is quieter than the quietest little girl, compared with the surrounding gloomy mountains, the vegetation on the mountain is sparse, especially near the crater, there is not even a tree to see. It is bare and competes with ge you.
You know, this is a serious tropical area. More than 500 kilometers north of the mountain is the equator, but there is no vegetation on the mountain, which is in sharp contrast to the gloomy of the two dead volcanoes around, which is enough to show the horror of the mountain.
The dirt road bypassed the foot of Mount tauru, took a big turn and continued forward.
Several people quietly looked at the terrible volcano at the foot of tawulu volcano for a while. Then they continued to move forward. They soon came to a relatively flat grassland along this dirt road.
This grassland is located at the foot of baai mountain. It is very flat. There are some wooden houses and tents on the grass. Obviously, this place has been regarded as a gathering point by tourists and locals.
"More than ten years ago, after the tawulu volcano completely calmed down, some tourists, with the cooperation of the local people, established a small tourism gathering point here. Whether tourists come to enjoy the tawulu volcano or the fear of baai mountain, they will rest here for a while and then continue their journey. We can put our cars here and start from here If you go up in the, you can't ride. "
Led by Howard, they came to a large wooden house on the edge of the grass. A man in his fifties came out of the house. Judging by his skin color, they knew that the man was a local.
The local man looked very happy after seeing captain Howard. After a warm hug with Howard, he began to talk with Howard enthusiastically in local language.
After the two exchanged for a while, Howard came back and explained, "this is my neighbor when I was a child. We can put the car here and he will take care of it."
After they put the car away, they said hello to the local man. Then they began to climb the mountain under Howard's leadership.
Although this baai mountain is the second height on the half way of ghazel, second only to the dead volcano in the north, it is not difficult to climb. The hillside is very gentle, and several paths have long been stepped out by tourists. Each of them walks up the path with a West wood stick. They just need to pay attention to snakes and insects from time to time. There is no difficulty except for some insects.
Howard collected some unknown wild flowers from the roadside as he walked. When he was about to reach the top of the mountain in more than 20 minutes, he had a large handful of wild flowers in his hand.
"My grandfather's mausoleum has long been buried by volcanic ash, and now I can't find a specific location. Therefore, every time I go back to Rabaul these years, I climb this mountain to pay tribute to my grandfather and the buried Rabaul. There are too many memories of my childhood."
Then they understood why Howard collected these wild flowers on the road.
The top of the mountain was soon trampled under the feet of the people. However, the top of the baai mountain is not big, only more than 100 meters long and 70 meters wide, and the center of the top is slightly concave downward, and the surrounding edge is slightly higher than the center.
Obviously, this is also a volcano, but I don't know how many years it has been silent. The original crater is almost filled with ash.
When Howard got to the top of the mountain, he went alone to the northwest corner of the mountain, where he could overlook the whole Rabaul.
Instead of following them, Yang Jing went to the southeast edge of the top of the mountain.
