"In 1995, the city of Plymouth on the island of Montserrat was evacuated and an exclusion zone was set up because of an impending volcano eruption. In 1997, the volcano erupted burying the city in 40 feet of ash. Ever since, residents have been banned from coming back. Here are some pretty crazy pictures inside Montserrat's exclusion zone, one of only a handful of exclusion zones in the world."

Great photos to look at, while its tragic it's also amazing to see places like this left like the day they were evacuated.

Good find! It's crazy to see these deserted village's and towns. Must be super eery walking through them. I would be thinking how many bodies are in the set lava below your feet!

There would be lots of fine Rum maturing under all that ash.

The force of mother nature is not forgiving

Easier to build somewhere else than try and start over
