Deep beneath the Mediterranean seabed circling the Greek island of Santorini, scientists have discovered the remnants of one of the most explosive volcanic eruptions Europe has ever seen.

A 500-foot-thick layer of pumice rock on the Mediterranean seabed indicates Santorini volcano ejected 15 times more material than Hunga-Tonga during a previously unknown eruption. https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/volcanos/underwater-santorini-volcano-eruption-520000-years-ago-was-15-times-bigger-than-record-breaking-tonga-eruption

A little bit hazy, but had the rare treat of being able to see four PNW volcanos at one time from my flight out of Seattle yesterday. From left to right are (indigenous names first) Klickitat (a.k.a. Adams), Wy'east (a.k.a. Hood, way in the distance), Tahoma (a.k.a. Rainier), and Lawetlat'la (a.k.a. St. Helens).

'The methods used to collect, interpret, and disseminate map data have been evolving ever since [Hawaiian Volcano Observatory's] founding in 1912, and a digital tool newly available to the public continues that legacy of innovation. The new digital tool is an interactive, browser-based display of map data that can be updated in near-real-time with eruption features, such as lava flows.'
