Unprecedented seismic activity reveals a connection between Mount Etna and Campi Flegrei, two of Europe’s most dangerous volcanoes. Deep earthquakes and ground deformation patterns suggest magma movement beneath the Mediterranean Sea, challenging existing volcanic hazard assessments for millions of people in southern Italy. Scientists grapple with the implications of this potential interaction, as evacuation plans are activated and the risk of a catastrophic eruption looms.
