Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, is built around a field of dormant volcanoes and Lake Taupo on the North Island occupies the caldera of one of the largest super-volcanic eruptions in Earth's history. Living near a volcano is not unlike living on or near a faultline. You know it is certain there will be an earthquake sooner or later but you just get on with life (otherwise, for example, California wouldn't be the most populous State in the U.S.A.).

For some reason, i understand why all of the residents doesn't want to leave. I'm an Indonesian and my country are considered as a one of most active volcanic and earthquake in this world. I live near Merapi Mount (an active volcano), on 2010 theres a big eruption. Many houses were destroyed, and many cattles were burnt alive, and some of my neighbour too. I and my family were forced to flee to another town and after a few weeks, we came back to our house and as u guessed, my house was destroyed. My dad and my brothers started to renovate. And yeah we live in this house again and don't wanna leave again tbh. The soils are fertile and so my family back again to our fruit garden.

I don't know why it took me until now, watching this video, but it finally just occurred to me that archaeologists who have spent their lives and careers excavating incredible sites that had been buried by volcanic activity might live to see them buried again.

[@ellenbryn]

Or be buried by the same volcano. I was a classics major, and Herculaneum's burned scrolls and all the archaeology there thrill me. I used to be able to read Pliny's letter in the original Latin. So I would love to visit those sites. EXCEPT. I've visited Mount St Helens, and seen Kilauea erupting.I live in California and have been through moderate earthquakes; I've even felt mild ones in the last month. I've seen fire tornadoes here, hurricanes and blizzards when I lived back east, and my school was destroyed by a tornado. All survivable. Pyroclastic surges? Not. Campi Flegrei scares the spit out of me. I salute everyone who lives and works there, but that is a volcano I do not trust farther than I can throw it, and I mean that literally. From everything I've learned since i got interested in volcanoes and earthquakes after moving to California 25 years ago, I'm not sure it's going to give clear warning signals far enough in advance for people to evacuate; just gradually worsening conditions like the proverbial frog in a pot of water that's slowly heating. I hope I'm wrong.

[@champagnehand]

@@ellenbryn I also hope you're wrong about the lack of warning signals, but from what I've seen, I don't know that enough of the populace would recognise or heed them, anyway.

Thank you for this. I've been hearing about Campi Flegrei for a long time now, and it definitely concerns me. It's truly jaw dropping to see aerial photos depicting a landscape scarred with craters ... with a city built right on top of it. It's not the biggest 'super' volcano around. Probably Toba takes that prize. But it is very active, in the heart of a densely populated region, and so it is very dangerous. It is also largely under water, something you didn't mention, which means there is a high probability that an eruption would be extremely violent. My suspicion is, a large eruption is not likely in the near future, but is almost inevitable within the next 100 years or so. And when it does go off, life as we know it will change forever.

[@risgumpert6272]

Being incredibly chill about living inside an active volcano is just about the most Neapolitan thing I’ve heard of, it’s kind of beautiful.

San Francisco sits at the mouth of a huge natural bay, so a great location to fortify a harbour. Messina sits right at the narrow between Sicily and Italy. If you control that straight, you control shipping. Cities grow at economically or politically important locations. And those aren't the only ones. What about New Orleans, in a bowl below sea level surrounded by water at three sides. Or Las Vegas, in the middle of the desert with no natural water resources. Or Manilla. Or half of Japan. Or Nauru. Or everyone in the flood plains at the north sea. Or the entire country of Bangladesh.

In Italy, Piedmont, we have an extint caldera that last erupted 300M years ago and is still visible, and the whole conduct and magma chamber emerged in surface due to tectonics. Is called 'Sesia' or 'Valsesia supervolcano', the river follows the volcanic vent and you clearly see the rock around is solidified magma. It rated VEI 8.

As one who used to live here, I was actually surprised this video was about volcanoes. I thought it would be about the crime, murder, pollution, and hazardous waste. Slightly disappointed now, honestly. But yeah sure volcanoes are cool too I guess

I literally used to live in Lago Patria, just north of the Campi Flegrei caldera. Summer camp at Carney Park in Pozzuoli (inside a dormant volcano), went to middle school near Solfatara. My childhood was amazing in Italy, but I never had a sense of dread or fear about where I lived.

We live there currently (cause Nato) and we just live day by day without thinking about it. You literally can’t, cause life would be so miserable and scary. There is earthquakes more often, & one of my friend (who lives near Pozzouli) feels it everytime. She said people pop up their tents and the government is trying to move people with damaged house caused by it, to other houses farther away but a lot of people refuse to take on the offer, since work would be to far away. So far we couldn’t feel anything in Lago 🍀

'Campi Flegrei' literally means 'Burning fields'. Also, keep in mind that most of those houses there are built without following the law. They are 'case abusive'. Basically people built them without permission, thanks also to Camorra, a mafia group from Napoli. Scientists are hopeless into convincing people there to leave. As you also saw for yourself, they follow no reason and prefer to pretent that everything is fine

Almost sixty years ago, my parents and I walked around in Solfatara, among the gas vents, and even purchased some rocks as souvenirs. At the time, the conventional wisdom was that it was an extinct volcano. Strange to look at videos like this, now that I’m a senior citizen, and realize that the place I had been walking might eventually be the epicenter of one of the most damaging eruptions the world has ever known.
