It is always a challenge to show the volcanic origin of an landscape. With modern technologies, like drones, the photographer can modulate the shape and character of an landscape with the light and position. These images were photographed with the DJI Air2s drone and HDR images. (Photo: Tobias Schorr)

Milos north coast has one of the geological wonders of the world to offer: the section around Sarakinikos Bay,- cliffs of ancient volcanic ash and pumice flow deposits, spectacularly polished and gullied by erosion.
Normally, a sunbathers paradise in summer, it reveals a rough beauty when the wind and waves become stronger.
The following are photos taken during a hike along the coast (something not to be missed when you travel to Milos!) in Oct. 2008. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)
