[Illustration: =THE REMARKABLE SUBMARINE VOLCANO OF SANTORIN=
(_Săn-to-rē´n_)
In this little Bay of Santorin, enclosed by an island of the same name
in the Grecian Archipelago, occurred probably the most remarkable
volcanic exhibition known. During an eruption in 1866 flames issued from
the sea rising sometimes to a height of twenty-five feet, and a dense
column of white smoke mounted to an immense height. Within a few days a
new island appeared which gradually became united to the present
Santorin.]
