	Peakware - Mont Pel»e
		Mont Pel»e's most recent activity was a series of eruptions that occurred from September 1929 through December 1932.
		Villages, towns, and industry have been erected at the mountain's base and agriculture continues on its slopes, despite occasional threats from the mountain, such as minor eruptions of 1792, 1851, and a major eruption of 1902.

	MARTINIQUE - Online Information article about MARTINIQUE

	Mt. Pelee, West Indies -- Page 1 of 2
		Pelee, a stratovolcano made mostly of pyroclastic rocks, is on the north end of the island of Martinique.
		Pelee is famous for the May 8, 1902 eruption which killed 29,000 people and destroyed the city of St. Pierre.
		The destruction was caused by a nuee ardente, a type of pyroclastic flow that consists of hot incandescent solid particles.

	Notice to subpoena all Senators
		The Mont Pelerin Society called for a "conservative revolution" - for the "elimination" of nation states and the return to feudalism, a goal which has characterised all the various European fascist movements of the 1920s and 1930s, of which the Nazis were merely the most successful variant.
		Extract:- The Mont Pelerin Society was founded in 1947 at a meeting in Switzerland, in a chalet on the slopes of Mt. Pelerin.
		Mont Pelerin also brought the Kennett government (he a Talmudic Jew) to power in Victoria, and designed Kennett's Project Victoria to turn the state into a low wage, casino gambling, drug ridden state.

	FUMAROLE - LoveToKnow Article on FUMAROLE
		The fumaroles of Mont Pel in Martinique during the eruption of 1902 were examined by A. Lacroix, and the vapours analysed by H. Moissan, who found that they consisted chiefly of water vapour, with hydrogen chloride, sulphur, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and argon.
		Cold fumaroles, below 100, discharge principally aqueous vapour, with carbon dioxide, and pethaps hydrogen sulphide.
		These vapours issued at a temperature of about 400.

	I am trying to locate a vulcano called "Pele".
		Of course Mt. Pelee is famous for its 1902 eruption in which pyroclastic flows raced down the slopes and thgrough the city of St. Pierre, killing almost 30,000 people.
		"It is still an unsettled question whether the name "Pelee" is derived from the French "pelee" bald (literally peeled) mountain, or whether the Carib inhabitants, who called it the "mountain of fire," named it for "Pele" the Hawaiian goddess of fire.
		The volcano on the island of Martinique is called Mt. Pelee.

	Saint-Pierre - Testimony of Mr. Ellery Scott, officer of Roraïma.
		During this time, the sea continued to roll of formidable ground swells, the Pelée mountain did not cease exploding, and of extraordinary jolts shook the atmosphere.
		He stared at the Pelée mountain, and the glances of all took the same direction.
		When the agent came on board with the barges and the gabariers, he says to us that the Pelée mountain did his since saturdays and that until in Saint-Pierre it had fallen a strong rain from hot ashes.

	TUFF (Ital. tufo) - Online Information article about TUFF (Ital. tufo)
		Even in the smallest details these ancient tuffs have a complete resemblance to the modern ash beds of Cotopaxi, Krakatoa and Mont Pelee.
		Many of them have ribbed or nodular surfaces, and sometimes (at Volcano and Mont Pele) they have a crust intersected by many cracks like the surface of a loaf of bread.
		Basaltic tuffs are also of wide spread occurrence both in districts where volcanoes are now active and in lands where eruptions have long since ended.

	EO News: Natural Disasters in 1999 Not the Century's Worst - December 30, 1999
		The deadliest eruption of the century was at Mont Pele in Martinique, Lesser Antilles, in 1902.
		The deposits will retain much of their heat for decades; even 5 years later they were measured at 900 degrees F. Close cooperation between the USGS and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology enabled the eruption to be forecast accurately, saving at least 5,000 lives.
		The coastal town of St. Pierre, about 4 miles downslope to the south, was demolished, and nearly 30,000 inhabitants were killed by an incandescent, high-velocity ash flow and associated hot gases and volcanic dust.

		From the views of Mont Pelé from the ground, it is obvious that the views are spectacular on sunny days.

	Tour Of The Caribbean - St. Pierre, The City That Was
		PIERRE, the debonair, the adored city of Martinique, was swept off the earth by the fearful eruption of Mont Pele in the month of May 1902.
		Many buildings left erect after the visitation of May 8 were demolished by a second eruption of Mont Pele, which took place on May 20 at 5.15 A.M. This second outbreak was even more violent than the first.

	Mitigation of Volcanic Disasters in Densely Populated Areas
		The 1902 eruption of Mont Pele'e which destroyed the town of Saint Pierre occurred because its governor, fearing the loss of the election, did not issue an evacuation order on time in spite of the premonitory earthquake signs which shook the region for several weeks.
		In the twentieth century the 1902 eruption of Mont Pele'e on the island of Martinique in Central America killed about 25,000 people, whereas Nevado del Ruiz Volcano in Colombia killed in 1985 another 25,000.
		We should, therefore, not forget the tragedies which occurred because of the eruptions of Mont Pele'e in 1902 and Nevado del Ruiz Volcano in 1985.

		In 1902 Mont Pele'e erupted on the Island of Martinique in Central America killing about 25,000 people and in 1985 the Nevado del Ruiz Volcano in Columbia killed about 25,000 people.
