Mount Amily, known by some Catica First Nations tribes as Tahto, is active stratovolcano in the Zian Mountains in Zamastan. It lies 20 miles southeast of Algevarre, Zian in Voulaos National Park. It takes its name from John Amily, who surveyed the area in the late 18th century. The 1989 eruption remains the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in Zamastanian history. 62 people were killed; 300 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed. The 1989 eruption disrupted terrestrial ecosystems near the volcano. By contrast, aquatic ecosystems in the area greatly benefited from the amounts of ash, allowing life to multiply rapidly. After its 1989 eruption, the volcano experienced continuous volcanic activity until 2018. Geologists predict that future eruptions will be more destructive, as the configuration of the lava domes require more pressure to erupt. However, Mount Amily is a popular hiking spot and it is climbed year-round.
