An active volcano located 12km southeast of Naples in southern Italy. It is 1281m above sea level. It is a double volcano with a central crater about 500m in diameter. About 12km to the southeast are the ruins of Pompeii, which were buried by a major explosion in 79. Since then, there have been more than 50 eruptions, and in 1845 the world's first volcanic observatory was built. In 1880, a funicular railway, famous as Funiculi Funicula, was opened from an altitude of 800m to the crater rim (1200m), but it was destroyed in an eruption accompanied by lava flow in 1944, and now a chairlift is in operation. → Related topics Apennines | Campania | Mediterranean volcanic zone | Naples | Pliny the Younger | Pliny the Elder | Plinian eruptions | Herculaneum | Archaeological sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
イタリア南部,ナポリ南東12kmにある活火山。標高1281m。二重火山で,中央火口の直径は約500m。南東約12kmに79年の大爆発で埋没したポンペイの遺跡がある。その後も50回以上の噴火が繰り返され,1845年に世界初の火山観測所がつくられた。1880年には標高800mから火口縁(1200m)まで《フニクリ・フニクラ》で有名なフニコラーレ(索道鉄道)が開通したが,1944年の溶岩流出を伴う噴火で破壊され,現在は腰掛けリフトが運行されている。 →関連項目アペニン[山脈]|カンパニア[州]|地中海火山帯|ナポリ|プリニウス[小]|プリニウス[大]|プリニー式噴火|ヘルクラネウム|ポンペイ,ヘルクラネウム,トッレ・アヌンツィアータの考古学地域 出典 株式会社平凡社百科事典マイペディアについて 情報 |
