Santorini....view in comparison to previous posting here (pano)

Here is a view from a few thousand feet up from Santorini. It is especially interesting when viewed with the preceding pano in this gallery. The shape of the Caldera is clear here, It is easy to see the island(s) circle surrounding the volcanic cone in the center. The pano perspective was from the main island on the distal side of the central cone panning from left to right (from this perspective. You can see many of the same features (obviously!!) Oia is the town directly down from the Aegean Jet. Just visible on the main island on the cliff (upper left from this perspective) is Fira seen as a few small white dabs. Note the small island to the right of the cone shows up in both studies, here on the right of the cone, in the preceding take, on the immediate left (as the study was taken from the opposite perspective. I find the history and geology of this amazing set of formations totally fascinating.

Santorin volcano exploded around a 10 to 50 years before J.C. Scientifics say that the Tsunami it produced once is what is described in the old testament of the bible as the water that went back when Moses crossed the red sea. Indeed, the sea Moses crossed was the Nile river delta and not the red sea on his way to the jordan plains.
Preceding a Tsunami, water goes back very far, drying out the land, this was the moment Moses crossed and when the floodwave came, the egyptians where half way of the nile bed.
Santorin volcano is still active in the deepth, one of the volcanos to watch.
