Vesuvius is one of the most famous and studied active volcanoes in the world, not only for its eruptive activity, but also for its historical, cultural, and social impact. It is located in Campania, near the city of Naples, and is best known for its eruption in 79 AD, which destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Originally, Vesuvius was not exactly as it appears today. In fact, the various violent eruptions over the years totally changed its structure.
In the beginning it appeared as one large caldera formed by an older mountain, Mount Somma, and the present-day Great Cone of Vesuvius incorporated into the former.
Vesuvius, therefore, was formerly a single large volcano extending more than 2,000 meters in height.
As a result of very violent eruptions of the explosive type, the volcano collapsed and gave rise to a lower northern ridge (Mount Somma) and the present crater, referred to as the Great Cone of Vesuvius.
The Great Cone therefore originated only later with the accumulation of layers of lava, pumice and ash.
This cone today is about 1,281 meters high and has a conical shape. At the apex of it is the crater, about 600 meters wide and 300 meters deep.
