Thera, or contemporarily Santorini, is a Greek volcanic island in the southern Aegean Sea.
The southernmost of the Cyclades, Thera was the site of a gargantuan volcanic eruption—one of the largest in history—which virtually obliterated the Minoan civilization in c. 1600 BCE.[1][2][3] Such was the scope of this cataclysm that by 431 BCE, more than a thousand years later, the island was still devoid of human life, and sulfur lakes dotted its landscape.[1]
