'Sleeping’ supervolcano near Naples ‘becoming more dangerous’, researchers warn

A ‘sleeping’ supervolcano near the city of Naples in Italy is ‘becoming more dangerous’ researchers have said – and have pinpointed where hot magma is coming from.

Researchers used seismological techniques to pinpoint the magma – which may help work out the risk of future eruptions. The volcano last erupted in 1538 – and 500,000 people now live inside or near the volcano’s caldera.
