Nea Kameni, Santorini, Greece, 1996

"Day-trippers explore the raw lava of Nea Kameni. Eruptions began building this island in A.D. 1570 long after ash from the Bronze Age explosion entombed a wealthy city at Akrotiri, on what is now [the island] Thera."

—From "Santorini: Greece's Sensuous Daughter of Cataclysm," September/October 1997, National Geographic Traveler
