Volcanoes are awesome. When they take out half of your island nation including the capital with boulders the size of houses, shit gets real. So no one is allowed back. Some people have managed to get some pictures though. > 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. - ``` 1. ![http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/terminal01/2011/4/5/16/enhanced-buzz-16301-1302035757-33.jpg](http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/terminal01/2011/4/5/16/enhanced-buzz-16301-1302035757-33.jpg) [Source](http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikeschinkel/288577947/). ``` -
