Italy panic: 1 day after warning Campi Flegrei volcano eruption,as earth rises,rumbling across land
Italy's Campi Flegrei is showing some troubling early warning signs, but scientists caution that its eruption is far from certain.
A long-slumbering supervolcano in Italy is getting closer to a potential eruption for the first time since 1538, a new study warns - and the consequences could be catastrophic.The Campi Flegrei volcano, near Naples in southern Italy, has crust that is becoming weaker and more prone to rupturing, making an eruption more likely, scientists behind a new study have said. More than 1.5 million people live above the vast underground volcano complex, and half a million people have their homes inside its 7-mile-long (11 kilometers) caldera, which was formed after an enormous eruption 39,000 years ago.
