Volcanoes

A detailed Summary of Volcanoes


The city of St. Pierre on the French Caribbean Island of Martinique had been living in the shadow of their volcano for more than two centuries and it had never harmed them. By 1902 they had begun to regard it as a peaceful dragon sleeping away the eons in their backyard....There was nothing in history of the Volcano that would suggest to the 30,00 people of St. Pierre, known as Pierrotins, that it was capable of killing all but two of them in a few minutes. And there was not the remotest suggestion that this ordinary-looking mass of earth, rock, and vegetation would soon mark a dramatic turning point in the infant Science of Volcanology.
