The eruption of Mount Pelee in 1902 was one of the deadliest
eruptions recorded in history. Standing at 4,583 feet, Mount
Pelee is located on the coast of the French island of Martinique
and neighbors the town of St. Pierre. The mountain was known
as a "gentle giant" and hadn't had so much as a grumble since
1851. The first recordings of the mountain's reawakening were
in late April of 1902 when light tremors shook St. Pierre and
sent fumes down the coast.
The real trouble began the night of May 2, 1902 with a small
eruption. The article from Earth Magazine stated, "Witnesses
said Pelee's summit seemed to catch fire, spewing glowing
rocks and rendering the midnight sky incandescent." A few days
later on May 5, a large crater wall broke causing a mudslide to
come rushing down the mountain at speeds of 60 miles per hour.
The mudslide cleared out a sugar processing plant killing almost
two dozen people during the process. The combination of
debris, mudslide, and hot water created a 9 foot tall tsunami
that pushed onto the coast of St. Pierre, also known as the
"Paris of the Caribbean." As if the tremors, fumes, mudslide,
and tsunami weren't enough, insects and snakes rushed down the
mountain into the streets of the city to escape the fumes from
Mount Pelee.
On May 6, Mount Pelee was showing no signs of cooling or
slowing down and blue flames began to develop at the top of the
crater from magma. May 7 brought about the eruption of
Soufriere on the neighboring town of St. Vincent killing 1,500
people. Authorities insisted that St. Pierre was safe and urged
everyone to remain calm. However, May 8 brought about
Ascension Day and in a matter of minutes a blast from Mount
Pelee completely obliterated the entire town of St. Pierre and
nearly all of its 30,000. Most of the deaths were a result of
breathing in the toxic fumes and gas that reached temperatures
of 660-750 degrees Fahrenheit. Mount Pelee's last eruption was
recorded in 1932 but was not nearly as devastating as the
eruption of 1902. It seems that the gentle giant is back to
resting but there are a lot of eyes and ears monitoring her to
ensure that a catastrophic event like the eruption of 1902
doesn't happen again. ss
2.The Mount Vesuvius eruption of August 24th, 79 CE in Italy
is one of the most famous volcanic eruptions in all of human
history. Responsible for the loss of upwards of 16,000 lives in
Pompeii and Herculaneum, it is one of the deadliest volcanic
eruptions ever recorded. The destruction of the area surrounding
Mount Vesuvius was absolute, completely wiping out all life in
Pompeii and leaving only a single witness of its eruption: Pliny
the Younger. Pliny's account of Mount Vesuvius' eruption is one
of the first written records of a volcanic eruption. Additionally,
volcanoes are named after the Roman god of fire: Vulcan.
Mount Vesuvius was formed by the African plate converging
and subducting underneath the Eurasian plate and is the singular
active volcano in continental Europe.ac
