Could an almighty eruption destroy a dreamy Greek island?

Perched on top of Santorini’s sheer cliffs is a world-famous tourist industry worth millions. Underneath is the fizzing risk of an almighty explosion.
A huge ancient eruption created the dreamy Greek island, leaving a vast crater and a horse-shoe shaped rim.
Now scientists are investigating for the first time how dangerous the next big one could be.
BBC News spent a day on board the British royal research ship the Discovery as they searched for clues.
Just weeks before, nearly half of Santorini’s 11,000 residents had fled for safety when the island shut down in a series of earthquakes.
