Pisciarelli Fumarola & Seismic Monitor

A Window into an Active Caldera

The Pisciarelli fumarola sits inside the Campi Flegrei caldera, a vast volcanic system just west of Naples that has been showing signs of renewed unrest for years. This camera keeps a continuous eye on the steaming hillside, capturing the plumes and discolored ground that mark the area's hydrothermal vents.

Hydrothermal Activity

Pisciarelli is one of the most energetic spots in the whole caldera, with boiling mud pools and near-constant gas emissions. The sulphurous plumes visible on camera are a direct expression of the magmatic heat driving the system deep below the surface.

Real-Time Seismic Monitoring

Alongside the visual feed, the broadcast overlays live seismograph traces and an event map, tracking micro-tremors, surface activity and deep volcanic signals as they happen. It is a rare combination of a live camera and scientific instrumentation trained on the same restless ground.

Naples' Watched Supervolcano

Campi Flegrei is one of the most densely populated volcanic areas on Earth, making Pisciarelli's activity a subject of constant attention from volcanologists and residents alike. This feed offers anyone, anywhere, a direct look at one of Europe's most closely monitored natural phenomena.
