Supervolcano in Italy could kill millions

There might be a hidden super volcano near Pompeii that could erupt and make Vesuvius look like a picnic, scientists say.

Reuters reported that the super volcano is located across the bay of Naples from Pompeii, and Italian scientists are planning on drilling underneath to better understand the volcano.

Supervolcanoes are fueled by giant pools of magma that form deep underground, according to the Daily Independent.
