I'm smug about the fact that I don't live in proximity to a volcano.

500,000+ people live inside an active caldera

We visited the Naples/Pomepeii area earlier this year. It is interesting how Mt. Vesuvius prominently looms over the entire Naples Bay region. It is a big mountain.

One day, it will go boom and will be spectacular.

Lake Superior has a giant dormant volcano called the Superior Shoal in its depths, akin to the super volcano in Yosemite. Just checked, and, of course, there are volcanoes in the Gulf of America, too (they spout asphalt instead of lava). Apparently nowhere is particularly devoid of some kind of volcano either in full view or lurking underground/water.

You can still be smug about SS’s dormancy, though. :)

As a Navy brat “tween” (11-14), I lived in close proximity to *that* one. (Campi Flegrei in Pozzuoli.)
