The Guardians of Naples’s Volcanic Bay | FULL DOC 

Volcanos do NOT "spew magma". Magma exists underground but once erupted it is referred to as lava.

Aetna and Stromboli are potentially very dangerous but their multitude of nearly constant eruptions limits their capacity to produce gigantic explosive eruptions. But the cone of Vesuvius is in the middle of the Mount Soma caldera. The size of Mount Soma's crater is evidence of an ancient eruption at least a hundred times more powerful than the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 Anno Domini. Vesuvio (the Italian spelling) is by far the most dangerous volcano in the world by reason (or lack thereof) of the more than 6 million people living on and around it. If you are anywhere you can see Vesuvio the next time it pops a Pliny, you are probably going to die because you won't have time to escape.

I visited Naples in 1979 when my ship pulled in there. The USS Forrestal. It's a beautiful city. I wish I'd had more time to explore.

I lived in Pozzouli for 3 years just at the Solfatara’s edge about 15 yrs agp. Our barracks were there and we had the streets cracking and steaming out malting hot sulfur. It was scary AF. Glad that base was closed down.

The Campi Flegrei have been "about to erupt" or "showing signs of an imminent eruption" since I first learned about it in 1975 when I was in elementary school. I know "about to" is different when speaking geology-time, but this video is speaking histrionic-time.

Right at the very end, 51:45, the camera flies over those mushroom-shaped Mediterranean pine trees ("Italian stone pine," pinus pinea) Pliny meant when he said the volcanic cloud over Vesuvius looked like a pine tree. I think every documentary that gives that quote should show one of those umbrella-shaped pine trees with Vesuvius in the background. One of my archaeology teachers had taken a photo like that for her archaeology lecture. That cleared up one of the more confusing lines in Pliny's otherwise very lucid account for those of us who live where pine trees are pointy and/or have branches all the way to the ground.

I love geology and this program on the Italian volcanoes - Recall my visiting Naples in 2001 and how fascinating a city it is, so much we visited - I'd like to return someday to see the Phlegraean Fields and Solfatara.

I climbed to the summit of Stromboli and Vesuvious. A year later Stromboli blew up . Didnt think of it as dangerous ...at the time.

Very interesting documentary. Thank you.

The 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius also destroyed the city of Herculaneum.

Jučer smo imali potres , treći u tjedan dana i svi su počeli u jadranskom moru, što se tiče kaldere u Italiji mislim da bi se trebali itekako zabrinuti živim na srednjem Jadranu i u zadnja dva mjeseca počeli su potresi u jadranskom moru i nismo baš tako daleko od kaldere, pozdrav iz Šibenika

Excellent documentary, well made and well told. Worth waching if you're into vulcanoes.

"to bring these fiery monsters under control" uhmm...OK...sounds doable. 🙄

Awesome great documentary, I really enjoy it, thanks very much for the well informative video..... keep up the good work n keep making these great videos

Brilliant Video & for One am glad that I live in the UK

This is just an awesome video so much information I never knew I'm 64 years old and I just can't believe I've never stumbled on this video it is awesome definitely informational keep up the good work thank you

I was last year on Vesuvius and at Campi Flegrei. I am in love with this region. I understand, why people are living there. 😊

Scientists are going to "bring these giants under control " ? That'll be a neat trick ! 🤣🤣🤣

This is insane..how could someone to be allowed to build a house literally inside the crater?

it is amazing how humanity will do the same thing over and over again. They build right next to volcano. The same thing in Iceland and also in Africa.Just look at the areal shot over the Vesuvius. Millions of people right next to it. Now they are in panic again. It is shaking all over the place.

The whole of Campi Flegrei is the supervolcano. The many craters within its caldera were formed in smaller, more recent eruptions.

“Scientists are trying to control the volcano” 😂😂😂😂😂

Keep up the information it's awesome I've learned a lot about things I didn't even know while I've been watching them I have watched a few videos but this one is awesome thank you😊😊

40 minutes in and not mentioned of Herculaneum???

That be like watching the main island of Hawaii blowing up at sea level. Similar to Santorini

You forget Herculaneum

One of the few dire warning videos that is actually reporting on a truly dangerous place.

Am I tripping or does the narrator sound like AI

A very good production although if this comes to pass I hope I'm not around when it does the eruption by all standards will be mahoosive and would definitely affect the whole world.....very scary 😮

If there is an earthquake first! the streets will be full of rubble, and everybody will have to walk real fast to get away.

Stromboli is also a name given to a type of eruption behavior.

It’s another mega volcano like Yellowstone!

U can tell how big the eruption pf vesuvius was by looking at how it built back up since its last eruptions.

Great documentary 🎉

Ms. Narrator, your voice and qualities of speech are superb. Thank you.

The word you're missing is "caldera", and that's why the bay of Naples is so scary. It's a potentially huge volcanic crater, half of which is undersea and the rest is home to over a million people. If it went up, as a caldera eruption - most of Italy would cease to exist and the Northern Hemisphere would be a mess for some years. And it's showing signs of waking up and becoming restless. If it did erupt there would be a short, sharp lesson in what climate change really looks like (instead of this drip feed of lies, pencil destroyed statistics and endlessly guaranteed to fail predictions that we get served at the moment).

Of cant vent the pressure in the pressure cooker it blows up. Same effect

Another active volcano in the bay of Naples is Mount Epomeo in the island of Ischia.

As i write the data fm naple volvano in 1944ad and the 2002,ad tidal wave make a interpretation computation of year based of 2038ad 3ww n big one i arrived excellent results it will happen none inhabitants itAly rome n vatican city by 2038ad my calculation based on ur data pls sesrch more god bless

See these are all cosiqueces of climate change . Excellent documentaries.

How likely is the Canaries due to do the same as Stromboli?

The INGV is talking about changes in fumes that are apearing since a few years at the Etna volcano, well wasn't that something to expect! Since end of 2018 magma channel coming from the Etna crossed the Crete line. The tunnel running from Bosnia, Albania, Crete and further connected in the Ionean Sea after the 6,4 earthquake in end Oktober 2018. After this high earthquake there was a strong fliw of magma moving back towards the Etna, it took and takes 2 hours and ca. 10minutes to let the Etna Erupt. If we see this as a dangerous or as a scietificdata, you know having two kinds of magma that are coming together and because they have both there own structure (different ground it moves on) you can get a different kind of gas or magma flowing. So the changes aren't really not to explain. Its just looking at what is taking place. Another look at hiw our earth is working could explain a lot more. And even make it easier to understand magma patterns.

Tsunami waves from a landslide are not tidal waves. 29:39

Why anyone livee near Typhons prison is beyond my comprehension its insane

The people of pompei had plenty time to flee

Near vesuvius is a supervolcano phlgrean fields etna Stromboli vulcano island

If this monster goes off? Hope it’s under land.!!! The thought of a sea Phreatic eruption from under the sea bed would bring unimaginable amounts of energy an steam, presenting even more power an debris, possibly causing a cool down in temps first in the northern hem, an then spread to the southern. Pray that don’t appen!!! 🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🌋🌋

Imagine a Mt St Helens type eruption happening there

It’s has never had a super eruption

Slice might as well be Vice. Nope for me.

Sorry, but there was no "tidal wave" .... nothing to do with the tides! T S U N A M I

This needs to be fact checked.

The robotic voice makes this unwatchable. It finishes each sentence flat like SIRI...

A volcano cannot be angry, which is a human trait, nor do they have cousins, which is a human familial group. A volcano just blows up and there are other volcanos in proximity. It’s not so much the AI narrator as it is poor writing. Sigh…third edit… It’s not a tidal wave, it’s a tsunami. The terms are not interchangeable. I give up…I promise not to come back again. 🙄

It sure sounds like AI and is unbearable .

96% of the volcano 🌋 up in 79 ad

PLEASE: Remove logo in top left corner - EXTREMELY DISTRACTING

Not a great place to live. Scary

More like a pressure cooker

Destroy half of Europe?

15000 years ago nothing existed THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS ABOUT 6000 YEARS OLD WITH ALL RESPECT FOR TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE

Posciarelli is not another volcano, is the same

37:30 THIS is why you want to stay fit folks, your body image be immortalized. 😀

If human beings actually were the rational beings they like to think they are, Naples would have become lovely, totally uninhabited museum of a city, wonderful to visit, but not to live in. What we have here is a capacity for denying reality that exceeds anything we have ever experienced. Volcanos have a strikingly limited capacity for doing good, increasing soil fertility and contributing to atmospheric composition is about it. I can see how soil fertility attracts people who live by agriculture, but how can urban Neopolitans find this attractive? The situation cries out for an explanation.

Siri got a narrator gig. It’s distracting. Although there really is a woman that can talk like that. She messes with con artists.

I hate AI. And the man’s voice shouting over the Italian.

IT IS HAPPENING, EVACUATE!!!

You're over dramatization borders on whining. But in the very least it's very boring
