The researchers were shocked after learning that Colli Albani, a volcano which was believed to be extinct was active once again. However, the best part is it might not occur in number of years.
It was identified by new steam vents, earth quakes and a rise in hill level in surrounding areas leads. Studies show that volcano operates in a cycle of 31,000-year dormancy to eruption period. Colli Albani was last seen 36,000 years ago and Fabrizio Marra, a volcanologist, believes the next eruption could be in 1,000 years.
Marra hopes that this serves as a wake-up call and encourage fellow scientists to monitor the the volcano more closely.
