Greece earthquakes

Latest quakes in Greece
Greece has a lot of earthquake activity, but most of them occur around the margin of the Aegean microplate. The Cycladic islands are located in its center and therefore seismically comparably quiet.

Germany

Photos from Germany
Germany has a large number of volcanoes - most of them extinct, but the Eifel volcanic field is still potentially active.
