In the afternoon of 12 July, pyroclastic flows cease. Probably at the same time, a lava flow starts to slowly descend on the southern flank (right). This image shows the lava flow 2 days later, visible as a dark tongue on the upper slope. A now inactive lava lobe forms a prominent dark patch on the upper SW flank (left). It had been emplaced during the previous week or weekend. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Sea-Floor spreading
Divergent plate boundaries in oceans: Two ocean plates move apart from each other. Hot upwelling mantle material forms magmas that continuously produce new oceanic crust. An ocean widens.
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.
