Part 3/9:
Santorini has a long and explosive volcanic history that has garnered global attention. The most famous eruption, which occurred around 1600 BCE, is believed to have destroyed the Minoan civilization and may have even inspired the legend of Atlantis. This massive eruption triggered one of the largest tsunamis in recorded history, affecting coastal regions across the Aegean Sea. Since then, Santorini has experienced multiple eruptions, the last occurring in 1950. With current seismic activity suggesting the volcano might be overdue for another event, scientists are keenly observing the situation, analyzing past patterns for potential future implications.
