  There are few forces on earth that equal the power and destructive force of a volcano. Their impact has helped shape this planet, altered climates, and laid waste to entire civilizations. That destructive power has terrified, awed and fascinated humans for centuries. However for those who understand them, they are beautiful spectacles of the earth’s inner mechanism at work. Out of the approximately 550 active volcanoes on the planet, few are ever destructive. They remain content to put on a spectacle for all those near, or increasing numbers of adventurers who dare to venture to remote locations to watch one of natures most incredible shows.
  
  Where there is a demand, there is opportunity. A small German based company company founded by Volcanologist Tom Pfeiffer, together with his team of local experts, cater to the adventurous and volcano curious and take guests on exciting journeys around the world to the most eruptive volcanoes. From the notorious and deadly Krakatoa, to the remote and inhospitable heat of the Danakil Depression of Ethiopia, Volcano Discovery will follow Tom and his crew as they l take viewers into world of beauty and awe of this somewhat misunderstood spectacle.

  The Gates of Hell - Italy's Mount Etna is one of the best places for volcano watchers and volcanologist Tom Pfeiffer is hoping to get lucky and see a paroxysmal eruption, a short and very intense eruption that produces spectacular lava fountains.

  Prehistoric site of Akrotiri open again!
  
  

  After 7 years of closure, following the tragic accident of the roof collapse of the newly built shelter in 2005, the archeological site of Akrotiri on Santorini (Greece) is now open for visitors again.
  The site shows a small part of an excavated city that flourished in the 17th century BC, but like Pompeii almost 2000 years alter, was buried by the ash of a large volcanic eruption on Santorini, the Minoan eruption at around 1613 BC. It is one of the most important archeological sites not only in Greece, but in whole SE Europe and in itself makes a visit to Santorini worthwhile.
