volcano, uninhabited island, Natura 2000
Volcanic island located in the Bay of Santorini. The area is thought to be possible source of Atlantis legends as the people who lived there, circa 1600 BC (Late Bronze Age), were culturally and technologically highly advanced. The massive Minoan volcanic eruption that destroyed the civilization was one of the largest volcanic events in recorded history and is thought to have had a global climatic impact. The Wikipedia link attached is for the Minoan eruption.
