The only active volcano in mainland Italy, Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
That eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ash and fumes to a height of 20.5 miles, spewingmolten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 1.5 million tons per second, ultimately releasing a hundred thousand times the thermal energy released by theHiroshima bombing.
