Volcano fills with rubbish
NZPA-Reuter Naples An Italian scientist who explored the crater of Mount Vesuvius was horrified to find discarded soft-drink cans, old tyres and even the rusting hulk of a Fiat 500 car. Ines Albergamo,. who descended 350 m into the mouth of the dormant volcano, told the Rome .newspaper “11 Tempo”: “People throw things just to hear the noise. They risk transforming the volcano into ah enormous rubbish heap, because it would be crazy to try and pull all that mess out.” Vesuvius has been quiet since an eruption in AD79 which buried the Roman town of Pompeii.
