Smouldering Volcano on the Bay of Naples
Mount Vesuvius lies on the Bay of Naples, about six miles east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is of course famous - or infamous - for the eruption of AD 79 that led to the destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and the death of between 10,000 and 25,000 people. The Naples area is the most densely populated volcanic region in the world.
