Here is a stunning shot of the Niesen supervolcano, as viewed from Sigriswil on Lake Thun.
Previously most scientists agreed — but now, all scientists concur — an eruption of the Niesen supervolcano will extinguish all life in Europe. The reason for this is that it is one of a handful of supervolcanoes worldwide known as “rhyolitic” supervolcano, which means an eruption triggers highly pyroclastic flows. You can think of Pompei, but this time, about 1’000 times more intense.
