Lake Avernus (Italian: Lago d'Averno) is a volcanic crater lake located in the Avernus crater in the Campania region of southern Italy. The name Avernus derives from the Greek άορνς (without birds), in fact it is said that the waters of the lake exhaled particular gases that did not allow the birds to live. According to the Greek and then Roman religion, it was an access to the Underworld, kingdom of the god Pluto: for this reason, the Roman underworld (the Greek Hades) is also called Avernus
