The eruption led to the deaths of up to 16,000 people. It is still considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world due to its proximity to populated areas, including Naples, that contain more than 700,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>The volcano has not seen any major eruptions since a 1944 blast, but is considered active and still belches out steam and gas on occasion. The crater summit is particularly dangerous because its walls are comprised of steep cliffs and volcanic rock fragments of rocky debris.<\/p>\n<p>Pompeii remains one of the most popular tourist sites in Italy, and visitors can also travel to the volcano and Herculaneum. Over two million people per year <a href=\"http:\/\/pompeiisites.org\/en\/archaeological-park-of-pompeii\/visitor-data\/\">normally<\/a> visit the ancient city, though numbers were down in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><em>Greg Wilson contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archeologists on Saturday discussed new findings from the ancient city of Pompeii, shedding light on life in the Roman city before it was destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption.
