Un supervulcan ameninţă să distrugă toate formele de viaţă din Europa. În urmă cu peste 2000 de ani, Vezuviul a acoperit cu lavă şi cenuşă oraşul Pompei. Deşi a provocat daune imense, Vezuviul este doar un mic "spin" pe spatele supervulcanului Campi Flegrei. Localizat în apropierea oraşului Napoli, acesta este un vulcan activ aflat în cea mai mare parte sub apă, informează Daily Mail în ediţia online.
