Accurately Assessing Volcanic Extinction

Scientists face difficulties in accurately determining if a volcano is truly extinct. The case of Greece's Methana volcano, which was thought to be dormant for over 100,000 years but may still have an active magma system, highlights this challenge. Current methods for judging volcanic extinction may be flawed, leading to potential risks for nearby populations.
