Yellowstone volcano eruption powerful geysers ERUPTING under blanket of snow.

Kilburn, a professor at University College London and expert in volcanic hazards, said despite there being a very small chance of another eruption any time soon, an explosion could have dramatic consequences.

When asked what the world’s most dangerous explosive volcano would be, Dr Kilburn said it would depend on where the volcano is located and how populated the area is surrounding the danger zone.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Dr Kilburn first cited Mount Vesuvius, which surrounds the highly populated Italian city of Naples.

Dr Kilburn said: “In terms of conventional size eruptions and explosions, you’d have to choose a volcano which has a high population in its immediate vicinity and that, I have to say, really brings Vesuvius right to the top of the list.
