During the first part of June, activity at Stromboli volcano was one of the most intense periods during several years. At most times, up to 6 or 7 vents were active, most notably the two eastern vents, closely followed and sometimes surpassed by the two western vents. The following pictures were taken on 9, 11, and 16 June, from various viewpoints and give an idea of this activity. Link: tours to Stromboli volcano (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

After a relatively rainy winter 2016/17, spring on the Greek islands was fantastic! Santorini, one of the most famous islands of the Cyclades, was no exception and offered a paradise for photographers: flowers and green everywhere, with the blue and white of the traditional houses and chapels. The following photos were taken during our Santorini walking tour in April 2017. Photo copyright: Tobias Schorr / Nature Discovery Tours. (Photo: Tobias Schorr)
