Part of the hummocky deposit found on the seafloor east of Santorini

Figure 6: Part of the hummocky deposit found on the seafloor east of Santorini. This deposit may be formed as a result of a debris avalanche, originating in the Profitis Ilias – Masa Vuono mountain complex on southeastern Santorini. Hummocks are indicated by green and brown color (steep slope); whereas the surrounding slat-lying pyroclastic deposit is indicated by purple and blue color.
