A huge volcano in the middle of Europe which hasn't been active since 1538 could be set to eupt again, creating 100ft high tsunamis and filling the sky with dark ash and sulfur. Experts say the crust of Camp Flegrei near Naples in Italy is weakening, which could mean an eruption is likely.
According to research published in the journal, Communications Earth & Environment, molten rock and volcanic gases would be launched high into the atmosphere , potentially plunging the planet into a lengthy global winter.
Despite the site being inactive for such a long period of time, a recent rise in the number of earthquakes in the area - more than 600 in April alone - has left scientists concerned, reports The Mirror.
