Mount Vesuvius is an active stratovolcano east of Naples, Italy. It is the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted within the last hundred years, although it is not currently erupting. Mount Vesuvius is on the coast of the Bay of Naples, about six miles east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is conspicuous in the beautiful landscape presented by that bay, when seen from the sea, with Naples in the foreground. Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It has erupted many times since and is today regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of the population of 3,000,000 people now living close to it and its tendency towards explosive eruptions. It is the most densely populated volcanic region in the world. Geologically, Vesuvius is particular for its unusual versatility, its activity ranging from Hawaiian style emission of very liquid lava, fountaining, and lava lakes, over Strombolian and Vulcanian activity to violently explosive, Plinian events that produce pyroclastic flows and surges. The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. buried Pompeii, along with Herculaneum under cinders and ashes that preserved the ruins of the city with magnificent completeness—down to the fresh colors of the wall paintings. Here is a picture of the ruins left perfectly intact by the destructive volcanic ash and lava.
The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius covered the city of Pompeii leaving eerie statues of the community. The foolish who choose to remain behind were trapped in this flood and preserved for centuries until the city was re-discovered in 1748. Approximately 20,000 people were killed in this eruption.
There are no signs
of volcanic unrest at Vesuvius at the present time. Eruptive
activity of Vesuvius obviously occurs in cycles that last several
centuries and alternate with repose periods lasting several centuries as
