| Attic Peninsula, Cyclades: From the southern tip of the Attic Peninsula, the islands of the Cyclades decorate the Aegean. Santorini is a volcanic island, half of which was blown out to the west when the volcano erupted in 1625 B.C. Acrotiri, a significant Minoan city that rivaled those on Crete from the 18th century B.C., was entirely buried in ash and pumice from the eruption. Sunglint helps define Nea Kameni, a young lava dome in the midst of the half-drowned caldera, which still spouts steam, gas and ash. |
