What year will Pompeii erupt again?
What year will Pompeii erupt again? Last year, scientists carried out a study which suggested that an eruption at Vesuvius may not happen for another few hundred years. Researchers took a closer look at the volcano's four largest eruptions over the last 10,000 years, the worst case scenario being that seen at Pompeii.
Would Naples be destroyed if Vesuvius erupted?
Vesuvius is still very much an active stratovolcano, with the city of Naples and its 3 million residents only a mere 12 kilometres away. The fact that the city could be destroyed in 2 and a half minutes makes it the volcano one of the most studied and precariously watched in the world.
