China News Service, April 25. According to the Greek "China-Greece Times" report, recently, an article published in the international academic journal "Basin Research" stated that scientists such as Greece discovered in the waters around the famous Greek tourist resort Santorini. The largest known trace of a volcanic landslide in the Mediterranean to date.
Based on a wealth of evidence, the researchers say the landslide occurred about 700,000 years ago.
The Santorini Volcano is reported to be a large, largely submerged crater located in the southern Aegean Sea.
Visible above the water are the ringed islands of Santorini.
At the center of the crater are two small volcanic islands, New Kameni and Old Kameni.
It is estimated that the volcano beneath Santorini has erupted several times in the past.
Experienced volcanic eruptions, massive landslides, massive amounts of sediment and rock sliding into the sea and potentially triggering tsunamis, are all but little known.
Only through recent scientific discoveries did people know much about the volcano's condition.
