I believe the answer is:

hot spot

(Other definitions for hot spot that I've seen before include "Where danger lurks" , "Site of unpredictable volcanic activity" , "volatile situation" , "Place of potential excitement or violence" , "Area of potential danger (a Greek island in summer?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
