The last time Mount Vesuvius erupted was in 1944, during the Second World War. This volcano normally erupts every year meaning now, it is overdue.
In this talk lunchtime talk our Education Curator, Cas Sanders, will be looking at the great eruption of 79 AD that buried Pompeii, studying first hand descriptions of the event, searching for clues to make predictions and asking what may happen next time.
