5. Santorini, Greece

The rugged cliffs along the coast of Santorini bear witness to the turbulent history of this spectacularly beautiful Greek island. The 980-foot-high cliff is formed from layers of pumice, volcanic ash and solidified magma. The volcano beneath Santorini is estimated to have erupted 12 times in the past 200,000 years, with the catastrophic eruption of 1650 BC being one of the largest volcanic eruptions on Earth in the past 10,000 years. The impact of that volcanic eruption may have led to the collapse of the advanced Minoan civilization on Crete, and some even say that the legend of the "lost continent of Atlantis" originated from this.
