'Very dangerous' supervolcano under Naples showing signs of reawakening

The Independent



One of the world’s most dangerous supervolcanoes is showing signs of reawakening under the Italian city of Naples
The Campi Flegrei may be nearing a critical pressure point necessary to drive an eruption for the first time in 500 years, according to scientists. 
Researchers say the volcano is moving towards a threshold beyond which rising magma could spark the release of fluids and gases at 10 times the normal rate.
