Nearly 5 million people including the city of Naples live within close proximity to one of the world's most dangerous & infamous volcanoes; Mount Vesuvius. While Vesuvius has not erupted since 1944, it will certainly one day erupt again. This video discusses the geologic history of this towering volcano and discusses several of its largest volcanic eruptions.
