Sources and limits
-
Summit elevation · 1 281 m
INGV published maximum Vesuvius cone elevation; distinct from contours derived from the historical DEM.
-
Contour interval · 20 m
Computed value — Chosen interval between contours derived from the DEM; it is not vertical accuracy.
-
Mapped extent · 12 × 9.3 km
Computed value — Deliberate cartographic terrain window. It is not the mountain’s area or official boundary.
-
Elevation contours · 187
Computed value — Number of paths calculated by source-pixel edge interpolation, without smoothing.
-
DEM grid sampling · ≈ 14 m
Computed value — Downloaded grid spacing at the artwork centre. Native data resolution may differ; it is not survey accuracy.
-
Last documented eruption · 1944
Historical eruption date reported by INGV; no forecast of another eruption or safety assessment.
- INGV — Osservatorio Vesuviano
- Mapzen Terrain Tiles / AWS Open Data

- Mixed open terrain sources; required regional attribution retained
