Campi Flegrei Volcano Update; A Timeline of its Many Recent Eruptions

Several large cities and more than 300,000 people live inside calderas and craters of the massive Campi Flegrei volcano in Italy. Since this volcano is still at an alert level of yellow, what exactly does this indicate? This video will discuss the current activity at the large caldera complex known as Campi Flegrei, as well as show a timeline of its 40 Holocene epoch eruptions.
