Santorini - The Thera Cataclysm

The video illustrates the geological formation of Santorini, the most important volcanic archipelago in Europe. Scenery animations (created with Bryce and ParticleIllusion), annimated paleogeographic maps and on site video recordings (Spring 2011) are combined.
(I have published a new video on YouTube "Akrotiri - the Frescoes and the Cataclysm", which primarily presents recent scientific findings of the last 10 years on Minoan-Cycladic culture and the Thera cataclysm.)
