Photos have emerged of the bloody scrapes suffered by a tourist who miraculously survived falling into the crater of Mount Vesuvius while taking a selfie.
The 23-year-old man, from Baltimore, fell when he and three relatives were walking a “forbidden route” on the mountain in the Italian city of Naples.
They were said to have ignored the visitor centre advice and instead took an alternative "forbidden" route to the top.
