Scientists Warn over 'Awakening' European Supervolcano Eruption - The Mirror
- Scientists warn the Campi Flegrei supervolcano near Naples, Italy, has shown increased activity, raising eruption concerns in 2025.
- This unrest stems from fluid and magma buildup about 8 km deep, with layers softening since 2005 and seismic activity rising sharply.
- Recent signs include over 6,000 tremors in six months, a 4.4 magnitude quake in March—the strongest in 40 years—and gas emissions around 5,000 tons daily.
- The Maddaloni/X-6 eruption 109,000 years ago was VEI 7, while the 1538 eruption was VEI 3, showing eruptions vary greatly in scale and impact.
- Authorities monitor closely with evacuation plans for millions, emphasizing uncertainty in eruption timing but preparing for serious local and regional consequences.

Campi Flegrei, or ‘burning fields’ in Italian, is a vast volcanic region that includes nearby Mount Vesuvius. The eight-mile-wide area has been mostly eruption-free since 1538, when Naples saw a week of lava and smoke that formed Mount Nuo…
