Mount Vesuvius is a somma-stratovolcano located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes which form the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera caused by the collapse of an earlier and originally much higher structure.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis and Stabiae, as well as several other settlements. The eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ashes and volcanic gases to a height of 33 km (21 mi), erupting molten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 6ร105 cubic metres (7.8ร105 cu yd) per second, ultimately releasing 100,000 times the thermal energy released by the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombings. More than 1,000 people died in the eruption, but exact numbers are unknown. The only surviving eyewitness account of the event consists of two letters by Pliny the Younger to the historian Tacitus.
Vesuvius has erupted many times since and is the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted within the last hundred years. Today, it is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of the population of 3,000,000 people living near enough to be affected, with 600,000 in the danger zone, making it the most densely populated volcanic region in the world, as well as its tendency towards violent, explosive eruptions of the Plinian type.

I somehow remember when I was about 4 or 5 my dad carrying me up the over half of the way
Summer 2021 we arrived there at 10am, they told us the earliest ticket will be at 2pm, so we walked back and went unter the fence and climb all the vulcano up on the forbidden zone. That was a big adventure! We walked on the other side of the vulcano, where no people was and filming that by a drone. That was amazing ๐๐
Am i the inly ine who thinks this lady hes with seems like a real turd? Her whole vibe seems pretty off.
C.E. stands for common era. It's a replacement for A.D. which means "Anno Domini" or " the year of our Lord"
BC/BCE = before christ/ before common era.
AD/CE= after death, anno domini/common era
