I understand that after a volcanic eruption on an island in 1902,
that only one person survived because he was in a jail cell having walls
four feet thick. Can you tell me the location of that eruption?

Hi Fredrick,
You heard right. The volcano that erupted was Mt. Pelee. The city that was
destroyed was St. Pierre. The island was Martinique in the West Indies.
Sincerely,
Scott Rowland
