Sweet, dude! Is that Mount Vesuvius across the bay in the background? Yes. Mount Vesuvius can be seen regularly from Naples:  P.S: Thank you very much guys, I have really appreciated your comments  |

Yes. Mount Vesuvius can be seen regularly from Naples: Nice pic, there! Love the lighting and the sunset effect. On a related note, I've got to ask: Do you ever get nervous living in Naples? I've heard that there've been some pretty ominous "gut-rumblings" coming from that mountain recently, and it's not like you don't have some seriously poignant reminders of just what Vesuvius is capable of. After all, you're living just up the road from the most famous ghost town in the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesuvius#Eruption_of_79 |

Nervous? Quite often. There are several earthquake swarms near the volcano (including Naples) but an eruption (an EXPLOSIVE one) is still unlikely at the moment. Pyroclastic flows (the "thing" that destroyed Herculaneum, the ghost town near Pompei) can't reach Naples, but volcanic ash would be dangerous. And there's also a risk of a Tsunami: When exploding, Mount Vesuvius may "fall" into the bay of Naples, and a massive Tsunami is likely to appear. At the moment, Vesuvius is dormant, and last erupted in 1944. A massive explosive/plinian eruption like the one of 79 d.C. only happens after 100+ year of dormancy (Mount St. Helens, Pinatubo). Not trying to be rude now (for U.S. people), but Mount Hood in Oregon and other Cascade Volcanoes last erupted more than 100 years ago (expect for Lassen Peak and St Helens)... Back to "Mount Vesuvius and me": short answer: Yes, I'm nervous sometimes, but I also have a social life, I can't be nervous all the time  I personally feel sorry for all the populated cities around the volcano: we all know what Mount Vesuvius is going to do with them... |

Right now, if you're taking bets on the next Cascade Volcano to erupt, the smart money is on Mount Rainier. ...A rather frightening proposition, as Rainier is almost in the middle of downtown Seattle. As for the kind of power one of the Cascades can put out, look no further than Mount Mazama, although there's not much left of it to look at:  Believe it or not, this used to be a mountain. Amazingly, it belched out it's entire core during a colossal eruption, then collapsed into itself at the end. Most people today know it as Crater Lake, but it's essentially a mountain that committed suicide. |

Yeah, Mount Mazama: a stratovolcano that collapsed in its caldera (I think). This means that it had very powerful eruptions in the past, much like Krakatau (or Krakatoa) in Indonesia (THAT was scary). Personally, I think volcanoes like Mazama are fascinating (is this the correct adjective?). But in the future, I'm surely going to observe Mount Vesuvius's eruption....from a very distant location. |

Oh wow, that's awesome! I always loved the helmet look...and the scenery is just amazing. Pretty neat idea, to locate the KP crew in your home area in honour of season 4 ;D Great job |
