But The navigator’s explanation was very easy to understand Even as an amateur, I was able to enjoy learning about varves b>You can’t see it anywhere else 70,000 years worth of varves with a length of 45m were on display In addition to the inside of the varve museum > Spread around the varve museum The setting for collecting varves What it looked like when I visited Lake Suigetsu b> I will also introduce what it was like when I took a leisurely stroll around the Varve Museum I will be visiting Fukui Prefecture from now on.

Access details to the Fukui Prefectural Varves Museum Please also refer to the official website in the overview section. Like me, who visited the Varve Museum for the first time, many people in their daily lives. The word "varve" is something you’ve never heard of. varve was first published in Kojien, published in 2018. A new word that was created Depicted by the layers deposited in lakes and marshes over a long period of time The distinctive striped pattern of lake sediments Because different substances are deposited on the lake bottom depending on the season, light and dark layers are deposited alternately . ” are formed Therefore, by examining the striped patterns and sediments of varves, we can understand the climate changes that occurred on Earth tens of thousands of years ago. The age of a volcanic eruption can be determined Vaves can be used as a "yardstick" to understand the history of the Earth Pre-varve radiocarbon dating methods show that the amount of radiocarbon contained in the atmosphere varies for hundreds of years. There was a discrepancy in the dating of several thousand years, but in the case of varves that form one layer per year, the dating is even more difficult. It has become highly accurate It has become possible to measure events that occurred more than 10,000 years ago with a small error Currently, it has become the “world standard measuring stick.” ” Lake Suigetsu, one of the Mikata Five Lakes, is located very close to the museum as a collection site for varves. The varves of Lake Suigetsu are beautifully preserved It is a rare place in the world with perfect conditions The varves of Lake Suigetsu have been adopted as a global standard It has become the world’s Lake Suigetsu After listening to an amateur’s vague explanation After getting to know something about varves… Introducing the inside of the museum The first thing I noticed when I arrived at the museum was the newness of the museum, which opened in September 2018.

You can experience it through the huge screen that stretches out in front of the b> The situation at the time when varves were formed is recreated The way varves have continued through the long history of the earth to the present day can be intuitively understood from the video. You can experience it There are several staff members called navigators stationed inside the museum. While listening to an explanation about varves, You can tour the inside of the museum, but the explanation given by this navigator is very easy to understand and interesting. Vars Even though I didn’t know anything about varves, I was able to learn about varves from scratch. I was able to enjoy the exhibits in the museum even more. At that time, the two navigators told me The stories I heard were very interesting I became interested in varves On my way home, I bought a museum manual that was sold inside the museum I still enjoy reading it at home from time to time The navigator is on duty every day, but Please note that depending on the situation inside the museum at the time of your visit, it may be difficult to explain to everyone Fukui The largest exhibit in the Varve Museum is 45m long Actual varve dug out from Lake Suigetsu In a case By looking at the fixed varve stripes, we can tell what was happening on Earth at that time Year You can also scan the QR code near the stripes with your smartphone to see more information about the varves of that era b> In order to display the world’s longest varve at 45 meters, the building of the Fukui Prefectural Varve Museum is the longest and narrowest museum in the world b> By looking at the 45m varves You can go back 70,000 years in one go In addition to the actual varves Permanent exhibition of humans and the environment that can be traced through Lake Suigetsu varves Special exhibitions such as overseas varve research Various exhibitions related to varves b> You can enjoy it.
