Ground Deformation at the Nea Kameni Volcano



Evolution of ground deformation over Nea Kameni Volcano (Santorini, Greece) from March 2011 to February 2012. The animation was derived using data from Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar analysis of Envisat’s radar data.

Note: This particular island is famous for the volcanic eruption that destroyed the Minoan civilization living on the island of Thera, as Santorini was known at the time. The artwork that was preserved by the eruption is very beautiful.
