In 1902, Mount Pelée erupted on the island of Martinique, primarily ejecting volcanic ash, pumice, and pyroclastic flows. The eruption was particularly devastating due to the high-temperature pyroclastic flows that engulfed the nearby town of Saint-Pierre, resulting in significant destruction and loss of life. The eruption released a combination of ash and gases that spread rapidly, leading to the town's complete obliteration.
