Some cool things most people don't know. This photo is taken on top of a volcano.
The big white building in the distance on the left is a museum and is also built on a volcano.
Slightly to the right of the museum is the university, also built on a volcano.
On the university campus there is a multi-story physics building which goes many levels under the ground via the service elevator to experimental laboratories.
Across the road from this building is a park where students like to hang out, which is also a volcano.
The underground labs were built to repurpose a WWII bunker system that basically hollowed out the volcanos under the university and the park.
There are long caves (lava tubes) that run under the city. In some cases for miles.
One such cave connected the place where this photo was taken to the other side of the harbor just out of view and to the left of this photo.
It was originally excavated so that a horse and cart could transport goods, and in WWII it was expanded again to accommodate bunkers and storage for military equipment and munitions.
At the end of WWII, they covered the entrances with dirt and knowledge of these underground complexes faded away out of the public's consciousness.
