Santorini eruption, 1866
Santorini eruption. Historical artwork depicting a volcanic eruption by the island of Nea Kameni in 1866. This eruption, in the Santorini group of islands in Greece, was part of a series of volcanic events which tripled the size of Nea Kameni. 140 million cubic metres of lava were produced in the period from 1866 to 1870. It is believed that a catastrophic eruption in this area around 1600 BC may have destroyed a Minoan island civilisation which was based here, leading to the myth of the lost city of Atlantis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back to the Santorini eruption of 1866, showcasing a historical artwork that vividly depicts the volcanic explosion near Nea Kameni island. The eruption was part of a series of volcanic events that dramatically expanded the size of this Greek island. Astonishingly, over 140 million cubic meters of lava were unleashed between 1866 and 1870, forever shaping the landscape. The significance of this eruption extends beyond its geological impact. It is believed that an ancient Minoan civilization once thrived on an island in this very area until it met its tragic demise during a catastrophic eruption around 1600 BC. This event has fueled the mythical tale of Atlantis, as scholars speculate about its connection to this lost city. The intricate illustration captures the erupting volcano with remarkable detail, showcasing billowing smoke and molten lava spewing into the sky. In contrast to nature's fury, a sailing ship valiantly navigates through treacherous waters nearby, emphasizing humanity's resilience amidst such destructive forces. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from the late 19th century, we are transported to an era where classics and history intertwine with geology and myth. It serves as a poignant reminder of both our planet's volatile past and our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations lost beneath layers of time.
