  • THE ATOMIC SURFERS FROM FUKUSHIMA<br />
<br />
On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Radiations sensors indicate the radioactivity level, but in these red zones classified as " difficulty to return zone" by the governement,  there is no one to read. 1 millisievert is the maximum permissible exposure limit during one year for humans..<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree of contamination in which is their home , residents receive compensation from TEPCO company. In the red zone they receive $ 1,000 per month per person . This creates tension in the population because those who are on the other side of the fence as here in Tomioka , receive nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the « orange zone » , residents have the right to visit their home if they want to take care of it, like here in Naraha . This man comes weeding his garden. His wife refuses to come , and he will not bring his childre

On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />

<br />
On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Radiations sensors indicate the radioactivity level, but in these red zones classified as " difficulty to return zone" by the governement,  there is no one to read. 1 millisievert is the maximum permissible exposure limit during one year for humans..<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree of contamination in which is their home , residents receive compensation from TEPCO company. In the red zone they receive $ 1,000 per month per person . This creates tension in the population because those who are on the other side of the fence as here in Tomioka , receive nothing.<br />

  • Living under the volcano in Papua<br />
<br />
September 19, 1994 - An eruption of volcanoes on the opposite side of the harbor entrance devastated the town<br />
of Rabaul, the former capital of East New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea.<br />
Thanks to an early warning, very few people died. Rabaul’s town and harbor are craters made after massive explosions of gas, ash, rocks and lava took place about 1400 years ago.<br />
In 1994, the town had to be evacuated because volcanoes Tavurvur, Vulcan and<br />
Rabalankaia erupted. Over 30,000 people left the town itself and a further 50,000 from the surrounding area. Only four people lost their lives from the ash falls. One other was killed by a lightning strike south of Vulcan. This is a remarkably low death toll bearing in mind the potential for a much higher number had an evacuation not taken place in time.<br />
When the volcanoes erupted in 1937, 500 people died.<br />
The rains have soaked up the thick ash that has fallen on houses, and the weight  has collapsed an estimated 80% of the buildings.<br />
There is one hotel under the volcano The “Rabaul hotel” still welcomes tourists. After being severely damaged by fire in 1984 the hotel was rebuilt and reopened in 2005.<br />
All the rooms have a volcano view though you can’t see much since the wind blows the ashes towards the hotel. It is an incredible experience. Once in the nice clean room, you feel like you’re in a submarine!<br />
Living in and around Rabaul is safe as the volcanoes are quite predictable and<br />
are constantly monitored for the precursors of activity.<br />
The former airport is now under 3 meters of ash. Rabaul Airport was completely destroyed in the 1994 eruption.<br />
The airport was in the direct path of the falling ash. Nobody knows why they built it at the foot of the volcano, since there has been a history of eruptions.<br />
Some people still live in the volcano area as they do not have enough money to leave their homes. All day long, they have to protect themselves from ashes and winds. My camera did not res

On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />

Radiations sensors indicate the radioactivity level, but in these red zones classified as " difficulty to return zone" by the governement,  there is no one to read. 1 millisievert is the maximum permissible exposure limit during one year for humans..<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree of contamination in which is their home , residents receive compensation from TEPCO company. In the red zone they receive $ 1,000 per month per person . This creates tension in the population because those who are on the other side of the fence as here in Tomioka , receive nothing.<br />

On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />

<br />
September 19, 1994 - An eruption of volcanoes on the opposite side of the harbor entrance devastated the town<br />
of Rabaul, the former capital of East New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea.<br />
Thanks to an early warning, very few people died. Rabaul’s town and harbor are craters made after massive explosions of gas, ash, rocks and lava took place about 1400 years ago.<br />
In 1994, the town had to be evacuated because volcanoes Tavurvur, Vulcan and<br />
Rabalankaia erupted. Over 30,000 people left the town itself and a further 50,000 from the surrounding area. Only four people lost their lives from the ash falls. One other was killed by a lightning strike south of Vulcan. This is a remarkably low death toll bearing in mind the potential for a much higher number had an evacuation not taken place in time.<br />
When the volcanoes erupted in 1937, 500 people died.<br />
The rains have soaked up the thick ash that has fallen on houses, and the weight  has collapsed an estimated 80% of the buildings.<br />
There is one hotel under the volcano The “Rabaul hotel” still welcomes tourists. After being severely damaged by fire in 1984 the hotel was rebuilt and reopened in 2005.<br />
All the rooms have a volcano view though you can’t see much since the wind blows the ashes towards the hotel. It is an incredible experience. Once in the nice clean room, you feel like you’re in a submarine!<br />
Living in and around Rabaul is safe as the volcanoes are quite predictable and<br />
are constantly monitored for the precursors of activity.<br />
The former airport is now under 3 meters of ash. Rabaul Airport was completely destroyed in the 1994 eruption.<br />
The airport was in the direct path of the falling ash. Nobody knows why they built it at the foot of the volcano, since there has been a history of eruptions.<br />
Some people still live in the volcano area as they do not have enough money to leave their homes. All day long, they have to protect themselves from ashes and winds. My camera did not res

<br />
September 19, 1994 - An eruption of volcanoes on the opposite side of the harbor entrance devastated the town<br />
of Rabaul, the former capital of East New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea.<br />
Thanks to an early warning, very few people died. Rabaul’s town and harbor are craters made after massive explosions of gas, ash, rocks and lava took place about 1400 years ago.<br />
In 1994, the town had to be evacuated because volcanoes Tavurvur, Vulcan and<br />
Rabalankaia erupted. Over 30,000 people left the town itself and a further 50,000 from the surrounding area. Only four people lost their lives from the ash falls. One other was killed by a lightning strike south of Vulcan. This is a remarkably low death toll bearing in mind the potential for a much higher number had an evacuation not taken place in time.<br />
When the volcanoes erupted in 1937, 500 people died.<br />
The rains have soaked up the thick ash that has fallen on houses, and the weight  has collapsed an estimated 80% of the buildings.<br />
There is one hotel under the volcano The “Rabaul hotel” still welcomes tourists. After being severely damaged by fire in 1984 the hotel was rebuilt and reopened in 2005.<br />
All the rooms have a volcano view though you can’t see much since the wind blows the ashes towards the hotel. It is an incredible experience. Once in the nice clean room, you feel like you’re in a submarine!<br />
