There have been a number of historically documented eruptions that produced what we now know were pyroclastic flows, but they were first described scientifically after the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelee, which wiped out the city of St. Pierre on the French colonial island of Martinique. The flows were called nuee ardente by the French, meaning "glowing cloud".
