Mt. Vesuvius, the volcano whose massive eruption buried the ancient town of Pompeii in 79AD,is. burning again. This time it’s not due to a volcanic eruption,but instead, a massive wildfire has spread across its flanks. Access to the mountain has been prohibited and some areas have been evacuated.
This photo was taken from Sorrento, across Naples Bay.

Impressive picture! During my recent trip in Campania, I visited Mount Vesuvius. I sneaked myself up to the crater, bypassing the gate and avoiding the ticket fee (not for the money but for the adventure’s sake in its own right). I just published today on my blog the story of the first trespassing attempt, starting all the way from Pompei overnight, which was, after all, unsuccessful as I got busted by a military patrol (positioned there to guard against arsons). I’d be glad to hear impressions in case anyone’s keen to read through this story.
