Supervolcano Campi Flegrei Reawakening Near Naples

A supervolcano in Italy is showing signs of reawakening and may be nearing a critical pressure point, according to a new study. The volcano located across the Bay of Naples from the famous Vesuvius, once saw one of the most destructive eruptions in European history. Scientists say that an eruption could put half a million people at risk. RT reports: Campi Flegrei, or the Phlegraean Fields, is a large volcanic area located in the metropolitan area of Naples, one of the most densely-inhabited areas in the world, with over 3 million people.
