Taken on 13/02/2022. * Rising formidably beside the Bay of Naples, Mt Vesuvius forms part of the Campanian volcanic arch: a string of active, dormant and extinct volcanoes that include the Campi Flegrei's Solfatara and Monte Nuovo, as well as Ischia's Monte Epomeo. Infamous for its explosive Plinian eruptions and surrounding urban sprawl, Vesuvius is also one of the world's most carefully monitored volcanoes. Another full-scale eruption would be catastrophic. More than half a million people live in the so-called 'red zone', the area most vulnerable to pyroclastic flows and crushing pyroclastic deposits in a major eruption. Yet, despite government incentives to relocate, few residents are willing to leave. To see Vesuvius from a safe enough distance, head to Castellammare di Stabia on the other side of the Gulf of Naples.
