Volcanoes & Earthquakes
Try our new app!: Volcanoes & Earthquakes - our new free App for Android shows the latest earthquakes and active volcanoes on a map and as list, as well as volcano news from all the world. You can filter the data shown in various ways, e.g. by magnitude or age of earthquakes, the distance from your location, the status of volcanoes and so on.
Bromo
Bromo volcano photos: Bromo is one of Indonesia's most visited volcanoes. It is the most active vent inside the huge Tengger caldera and erupts every few years.
Santorini 1600 BC
Redating the Minoan eruption of Santorini: A 3600 y.o. fossil olive tree discovered in the Minoan pumice allows to refine the date of the Minoan eruption on Santorini to the 17th century B.C.
Short tours
1-3 day excursions: If you're interested in volcanoes, there are a number of excursions you should not miss if you're in the area: hike to the craters of Stromboli volcano, climb Etna volcano, get to know the unique volcanic history of Santorini - some examples of shorter (1-3 days) tours and excursions we offer.
