Summary

Description

That was one massive volcanic burst... and now just the lips of the volcano rise above sea level. The white parts along the ridge lines are cliff-hugging buildings.

"The huge Minoan eruption of Santorini in the 17th century BC was rated 7, the highest score for a historical eruption, in the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program's Volcanic Explosivity Index." (wikipedia)
