 Expert warns of great danger from Peruvian volcano   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
If and when it goes, Jean-Claude Thouret said, El Misti could be extremely hazardous, posing as much danger for the 750,000 residents of Arequipa as Italy's Mount Vesuvius holds for the people of Naples.
El Misti, just 11 miles from Arequipa's center, has emitted ash falls every 500 to 1,500 years, and even worse events have occurred every 2,000 to 4,000 years.
Thus, ``the possible impact of Misti on Arequipa is as worrisome as that of Vesuvius near Napoli,'' Thouret and five colleagues wrote in a recent issue of the Geological Society of America's bulletin.

El Misti, Peru's most well-known volcano, is a symmetrical stratovolcano with nested summit craters that towers above the city of Arequipa.
The modern symmetrical cone, with a small 1.5-km-wide summit caldera, caps an older Pleistocene volcano that collapsed, producing debris avalanches to the west and SW.
The last strong eruption of El Misti occurred between 1438 and 1471 (the reign of the Inca Pachacutec); several weeks of vigorous tephra emission forced residents of the region to flee.
