I guess we're always living through history. Can't choose your time period. Mount Vesuvius is the only active volcano on the European mainland. Its last eruption was in 1944 and its last major eruption was in 1631. Another eruption is expected in the near future, which could be devastating for the 700,000 people who live in the โdeath zonesโ around Vesuvius.
@Thumprhare too dark? ๐คฃ
Nah, just the right amount of living dangerously with WTH!
Incidently, there is a town in the path of Vesuvius that is auctioning old abandoned homes for 1 Euro. NO WHERE DO THEY SAY it's in the path. I looked up geological info and WAS SHOCKED.
NO disclaimers And under their laws no obligation to dislose either.
@dauphin87 nah, thatโs pretty Pollyanna like these days
@dauphin87 Not quite true that itโs the only active Euro mainland volcano. The city of Naples is located in the Campi Flegrei caldera (Phlegraean Fields), which last erupted in the 16th century. #volcanoes ๐
@jaunty @dauphin87 She is not a scientist that I can tell but she is keeping track of the area! https://youtu.be/mquYnGAnJ-Q
@Tattoomonkey29 Cool! You might also enjoy Geology Hub on YouTube https://youtube.com/@geologyhub?si=acKJjTNWP4QF4CQ7 @dauphin87 #volcanoes ๐
@jaunty @dauphin87 ๐ ..great minds lol I'm subscribed!
@Tattoomonkey29 Youโll enjoy the channel! Iโm a volcano nut. Went to see the Iceland volcano in 2021 and then took an online Vulcanology course from the U.of Iceland! Hereโs a pic. @dauphin87 #volcanoes #Iceland
@dauphin87 ๐ I've been watching a you tube chick that focuses a lot on this one and Flegrei, there is also one in the area on an island, currently erupting in a flow that locals are used to.
@Tattoomonkey29 Three. You are thinking of Stromboli โthe lighthouse of the Mediterraneanโ. Thereโs also Mr. Etna in Sicily and Vulcano. @dauphin87 #volcanoes ๐
@dauphin87 thatโs the spirit!
