And South America
I judge from my Geography-
Volcanos nearer here

A Crater I may contemplate
Vesuvius at Home.

They planned to climb Italy's famous Mt. Vesuvius on the Gulf of Naples to gaze into its flaming crater🌋
The majority of well preserved #Roman frescoes were found in #Campania, in the region around the Bay of #Naples. It is here that Mount #Vesuvius erupted in August, 79 A.D., burying much of the countryside, the cities of #Pompeii and #Herculaneum
