In Greece, the specific volcano focused on, on this site is:
Area/Region & Absolute location: (37.62 degrees N, 23.34 degrees E) Peninsula of Methana, Greece
The Methana Volcano is a Lava Dome because the volcano has high elevation and much hardened magma is piled up around the vent. It doesn’t explode at all really. Lava only flows thick and slow out of the vent. The lava is thick and flows slowly out of the volcano. The eruption has very minimal explosion and if it does it is usually after the lava has stopped its flow. The Methana Volcano is a large tourist attraction. It therefore brings in money. But also it affects the environment. The area must be tourist friendly. Often volcanic eruptions in Greece were turned into myths such as battles between gods and such. Surprisingly, greek stories are usually historically correct, though they have supernatural causes.
