In the ancient world volcanoes were often seen as entrances to the underworld, and they were used as beacons by sailors long before their geology was understood. Using contemporary letters, reports, diaries and illustrations, David Pyle details historic experiences of the phenomena, including Pliny’s account of the eruption of Vesuvius, expeditions by naturalists such as Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin, and London’s spectacular sunsets after Krakatoa’s 1883 eruption.
