Santorini - The Return of the Volcano

It was about 3500 years ago, when the volcano in the isle of Santorini blew everything away in a big blast, leaving nothing but a hole, filled with the deep blue Aegean sea. Humans soon settled again on the ruins of the ancient explosion, and today the island has become a popular tourist attraction, for its fantastic beaches and unforgettable views. But the little smoke signs and the sulphur smell are there to remind the little earthlings that the volcano is still there .... ready to return !!
