The 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée in Martinique resulted in the destruction of the town of Saint-Pierre and caused the deaths of approximately 30,000 people, making it one of the deadliest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century. Very few survived the disaster, with only about 2,000 people escaping the city before the eruption. Injuries were also significant, but the exact number of injured individuals is less documented.
