Ethiopia
Ethiopia and the Danakil: Ethiopia is a very diverse and beautiful country.

Greece earthquakes
Latest quakes in Greece: Greece has a lot of earthquake activity, but most of them occur around the margin of the Aegean microplate. The Cycladic islands are located in its center and therefore seismically comparably quiet.
