Flegreyskie field

If in a few words describe this place, you have to point out the dominance trahitovyh rocks on the secondary solidified lava and enormous quantities of food and loose volcanic tuff formed by them. In contrast, Vesuvius, we do not find here the central crater, acting more or less continuously: at different times among the area every now and then there are new Bock; they give sometimes one, sometimes several weak eruptions, and then stop the activity. Some counts among Flegreyskih fields up to twenty craters, but the number is, at least, not exactly: here watching these or other protrusions, we often can not decide whether they represent the residue of diffuse water ring craters. Perfect example of this kind serves as the Naples and its surrounding area to Cape Pozilippo. Breyslak counts are five ancient craters, but none of them can not be proven. Only significantly west are unmistakable craters, such as: Island Nizita, Anyanskoe lake. Pyanura in Camaldoli, etc., hence they are drawn to Mizenskogo Cape and continue on the islands of Procida and Ischia. The overall picture of these multiple rings of mountains opens from Camaldoli Monastery: it is the highest point of the whole area (450 m) and he lies on a circular shaft of an ancient, partially ruined crater, the largest among Flegreyskih fields called Pyanury. This picture is, without doubt, one of the most fascinating on earth, but a special charm. She gets to those who know how to look through the eyes of a geologist and the first time looked round with a height of volcanic terrain: astronomer, Solfatara and other representatives Flegreyskih fields, which lie at his feet and acting with such clarity can best exemplifies the distinctive ring of mountains.
