Eruption Of Mt Vesuvius 1944

Mt Vesuvius erupts near Naples, Italy in 1944. Footage from this film is available for licensing from www.globalimageworks.com

I was in Pompeii years ago and went to the top of Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii is “eerie” to say the least; walking around the ruins and being able to see the volcano nearby is definitely something. But going to the top of Vesuvius itself and knowing it’s still an active volcano and will erupt again was pretty unsettling. I wouldn’t do it again, but it’s an experience I’ll remember forever.

This is true. Try watching "man on the street" interviews from the 1950-1970s in America or the UK. The lay person was infinitely more articulate, thoughtful, and educated on things of importance (civics, history, philosophy, art, science) than the people of today (in the West, at least). Or, take a look at the sorts of films that were being made during this time: the groundbreaking and profound political cinema of the Japanese "Nūberu Bāgu" or the French New Wave/Rive Gauche, the direct cinema/cinéma vérité of Maysles, Leacock, or Rouch, the pure artistry of Tarkovsky or Antonioni, or the avant-garde essay style of cinema that came courtesy of individuals like Chris Marker. The collective average IQ of the West has seemingly declined by 10-20 points over the last 50-70 years. And speaking of film, it seems that Mike Judge's "Idiocracy" was not a fictional comedy, but a harbinger of things to come.

Vesuvius is now basaltic. In AD79, and 1631 Vesuvius was Trachyte/phonolite, which is viscous magma with a silica composition, similar to andesite to dacite. The super volcano just to the west which shares the same magma reservoir as Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei also has Trachyte and phonolite. But after 1631 with numerous interruptions during the 17th 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, the magma composition has changed to a more basaltic/less viscous composition more similar to mount Etna. Now that Vesuvius has been slumbering for more than 80 years the next eruption might be more explosive than 1944.

A new eruption is always possible but Vesuvius does work with eruption cycles. It stays dormant for a few hundred years and then enters an eruptive phase which can also last for hundreds of years. Vesuvius last eruption cycle started in 1631 and seems to have ended in 1944. If the volcano has entered a new dormant phase we probably won't hear from this mountain again for at least a hundred years. Then again, it's always possible something unexpected will happen over the next decades.

Back in the Roman era, they didn't know that it was a volcano

[@septicrox9044]

any body have any information on the clean up ?

[@brendarodrigues6313]

I wish we still got actual news

[@robertdumicz7309]

Is kind of dumb to build that near to a volcano, l think 20 to 50 km would be somewhat secure. But as their ancestrs buit there they did too, especialy due to the grapes wich only grow on the coast of Vesuviu, due to the suphur of the field give a famous, rare and expensive wine, Lacrima Christi.

[@rabinarayanmaharana2779]

Guys it is very dangerous. It can erupt in any time .

[@stinkbugsoup2236]

Im just so spooked for yellowstone to go off, its pretty unstable right now and honestly it could go off at any time showing how active its been over there

[@Serasia]

Allied soldiers helped citizens evacuate during that eruption. Was it good they were there even though it meant a war was happening? The volcano would have erupted, war or no war, but I guess it was good there was extra help there. Mixed blessings. At any rate, it's amazing they got footage of this. I'm sure at least some seismologists and volcanologists still study it.

@rideon77 Campi Flegrei is not a super volcano. But yes it is enormous with the capacity for VEI 7 eruptions, like that of Mount Tambora in 1815.
