This is the volcano that erupted and buried the entire city in a layer of ash and pumice, freezing it in place. Many people were killed when it erupted in 79 A.D. Those who survived fled to nearby towns and cities with whatever they could carry. There is a permanent evacuation plan in place in case of any warning signs because the volcano is classified as a stratovolcano and could erupt at any time.
