Exactly one hundred years ago, Greek and French archaeologists uncovered the remains of a "prehistoric Pompeii" deep under the ashen surface of the Greek island of Thera in the Cyclades.
The eruption changed the circular shape of Santorini, known then as Strogili, into its present-day crescent form. The island was divided into three parts: Thera (Santorini), Thirasia, and Aspronisi.
