Now this should be interesting...

department: Plan to Pierce Heart of Urban Monster Volcano. Starting next month, an Italian volcanologist will direct the Campi Flegrei Deep Drilling Project that is planning to drill seven holes in the region of a giant caldera that dwarfs the size of nearby Vesuvius.

While I don't believe this activity will trigger an eruption, it is not without significant risk as similar projects have discovered. We'll just have to watch and wait, watch and waiters.

  1. Hope they don't trigger any catastrophic events when I'm in Naples next spring! I don't want to end up as part of a newly-preserved human montage when I'm visiting Pompeii...
