Mt. Pelee's claim to fame, if you will, was the violent eruption of 1902 which killed nearly 30,000 people and destroyed the nearby city of St. Pierre, considered at the time to be the “Paris of the Caribbean.”

Tens to hundreds of times larger than the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens, Mount Pinatubo’s 1991 eruption was the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century.

The impacts of science and technology on the medical field continue to change the way we live and also the way we get treatment for various illnesses.

While relatively little known to the public today, Mount Tambora is the site of the largest volcanic eruption in recorded human history in 1815.
