Santorini is an island in the southern
Aegean Sea, about 200 km southeast
of Greece's mainland. The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic
eruptions in recorded history: the Minoan eruption, which occurred some 3600
years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large
caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of metres deep and may
have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan. Source
