If you're visiting Cyprus this week, make sure to take in the island's most breath taking views with the Troodos Mountains covered in snow ! The Troodos mountains in Cyprus are unique in their geology and one of the only few places in the world where scientists can examine oceanic crust without needing to go to the sea. An underwater volcano that erupted 90 million years ago, and the reason the island was formed, has given rise to pillow lava which is observable throughout the mountains. The area of Troodos is also home to one of the 5 most copper rich areas in the world !
