The Volcano Mount Vesuvius is one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes. The volcano has an eruption cycle of about 20 years, but the last eruption was in 1944. The volcano is rated as one of the most dangerous in the world due to the close proximity of millions of people.
Since 1631, the 4,200 foot high volcano has erupted at least 21 times. Mount Vesuvius is considered particularly dangerous because today, nearly three million people live in the direct path of a potential future eruption.
Mount Vesuvius is most famous for its landmark eruption in the year 79 AD, which buried the cities of Pompei and Herculaneum in layers of burning ash. The only account of the eruption that survives is from Pliny the Younger. From his dramatic account, scientists believe the cloud of ash he witnessed descend upon Pompeii was 20 miles high. The city of Pompei was completely buried. It was rediscovered in 1748, more than 1600 years after the eruption.
The people of Pompeii were found buried under 12 layers of soil. Many of the buildings were amazingly well-preserved, as were the bodies of those who were just going about their daily routines when the eruption occurred. The ruins at Pompeii have provided archaeologists with valuable information about how people in the Roman Empire lived. Today, Pompeii is one of the most visited sites in Italy.
