About Famous Volcanoes

Some mountains get a name in the history books because of one terrible afternoon, and others earn it by simply never going quiet. Vesuvius buried Pompeii under ash in 79 AD, and the town sat there for centuries before anyone dug it out. Out in the Pacific, Kilauea has been pouring lava on and off for decades, and the Italian island of Stromboli has glowed almost nonstop since ancient times.
