To understand what happened under Methana, we need to picture the volcano as the tip of an iceberg: at the surface we see only a little bit of it, while most of the igneous system is underground," said ETH Zürich volcanologist Răzvan-Gabriel Popa, lead author of the study published in the journal Science Advances. Earth is made up of layers, including the outer crust we live on and the mantle immediately underneath, where magma forms.
