More pictures to come. (I shot over 2,400 photos on this trip. It will take a bit of time to process and upload them all.)

About 3,600 years ago the volcanic Island of Santorini (It’s original name meant circular.) exploded. All that remained was three islands: the largest, a tiny piece, and a larger piece. The Aegean Sea filled in the enormous crater left by the eruption. Over the years since the 2 lava domes (Old Burnt Island and New Burnt Island) seen below and in the panorama above have emerged and continue to grow. The area is still seismically active, with a magnitude 5 earthquake earlier this year.
