The primary goal of the mission was to determine the extent and volume of the submarine pyroclastic deposits from the Minoan eruption that are distributed on the seafloor around Santorini. Not only was this goal was accomplished, but a lot of other fascinating information came to light, as described below. For more detailed information and daily logs of the expedition, see the Thera web site:
Extending from the northeast part of Santorini there is a line of about twenty submarine volcanic cones. By far the largest one is the Kolumbo submarine crater (fig. 1), with a crater that is about 1.5 km in diameter. Kolumbo was discovered in 1650 AD, when a major explosive eruption broke the ocean surface, sending destructive pyroclastic surges across the sea to the coast of Santorini. Up to 70 people died on Santorini as a result. The eruption built up a small white pumice island on the crater rim, but it was quickly destroyed by the ocean waves. This is virtually all we knew about the Kolumbo submarine crater until in April 2006, when our expedition began. During the two cruises Kolumbo was probed, using seismic surveying, SeaBeam mapping and ROV exploration (MaxRover and Hercules). We found that the floor of the Kolumbo crater is about 505 m below sea level, but the shallowest point on the south-west crater rim is only ten meters below the surface (figure 2). We sent the ROV Hercules down to the bottom to explore it further. We had an indication from earlier dives conducted by HCMR, that there was an unusual biological community inside the crater, but we never expected this! When Hercules was about half-way down to the bottom, at 250 to 300 m depth, the normally clear Mediterranean water turned very murky, with marine snow or very abundant suspended bacterial filaments and particles reducing the visibility.
When Hercules reached the bottom, it turned out that the crater floor was entirely covered by a thick blanket of a bright reddish-orange bacterial mat, which is a good indicator of hydrothermal venting near-by. Further exploration led to the discovery of a large hydrothermal vent field in the northern part of the crater floor. It consists of hundreds of hydrothermal vents that are discharging hot fluids, and some are vigorously discharging gases and fluids at temperatures up to 224C (figure 3). The deposition of minerals in many of the hydrothermal vents has led to the construction of chimneys up to 4 m in height. Samples of the vent chimneys were brought up to the surface, and preliminary analyses show that they are composed of polymetallic sulfide/sulfate. Thus there is a mineral deposit that is actively growing in the Kolumbo crater today, and it has probably grown entirely during the 356 years that have passed since the 1650 AD eruption. The dominant minerals in this deposit are pyrite, sphalerite, galena and barite (figure 4). Abundant metals in this deposit include iron, zinc, lead, and significant quantities of copper and silver occur.

When the Santorini caldera exploded in the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1630 BC), it produced the second largest explosive eruption in historical time (the other being the eruption of Tambora in Indonesia in 1815). This Santorini eruption occurred at a time when the Minoan civilization was dominant in the Aegean Sea, and hence it is generally called the Minoan eruption. Researchers from the University of Rhode Island began studying the products from the Minoan eruption in 1975 by taking sediment core samples of the sea floor between Santorini and Crete, and we concluded at that time that the eruption produced at least 39 km of magma.
The floor of the Santorini caldera was also explored with ROV Hercules. A large number of hydrothermal vents were discovered (figure 8), but in contrast to the high-temperature venting found in Kolumbo submarine volcano, only relatively low-temperature venting was observed within the Santorini caldera. The present configuration of the caldera consists of three distinct basins that form separate depositional environments, divided by the Kameni volcanic islands. The largest is the North Basin (389 m), to the west is the Aspronisi Basin (325 m), and the shallowest is the South Basin (297 m). The new seismic lines show that sediments in the Santorini caldera consist primarily of terrigenous material and volcaniclastic deposits from the activity of Kameni islands. Hydrothermal vents occur in both the North and South Basin of the caldera. They form a vent field in the NE part of the North Basin that is 200 by 300 m in extent (figure 9). The vents form hundreds of 1 to 4 meter diameter mounds of yellowish bacterial mat that are up to 1 meter high. Temperatures in the mound are around 15 to 17 C or about 5 C above ambient temperature. The North Basin hydrothermal vent field is located in line with the normal fault system of the Kolumbo rift, and also near the margin of a shallow intrusion that occurs within the sediments of the North Basin. Similar vent mounds occur in the South Basin, where most of the low temperature vents are seeps along a ridge separating the West and South Basins and on the submarine flanks of the Kameni volcanic islands.
Thera-Band Tubing is made of 100 % rubber. This makes it flexible and very strong. The material gives a resistances that is about the same to the resistance of the practice bands. Thera-Band Tubing is a long lasting product that can be used intensely.

The island was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history: the Minoan eruption (sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred about 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization.[5] The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of metres deep.
Excavations starting in 1967 at the Akrotiri site under the late Professor Spyridon Marinatos have made Thera the best-known Minoan site outside Crete, homeland of the culture. The island was not known as Thera at this time. Only the southern tip of a large town has been uncovered, yet it has revealed complexes of multi-level buildings, streets, and squares with remains of walls standing as high as eight metres, all entombed in the solidified ash of the famous eruption of Thera. The site was not a palace-complex as found in Crete nor was it a conglomeration of merchant warehousing. Its excellent masonry and fine wall-paintings reveal a complex community. A loom-workshop suggests organized textile weaving for export. This Bronze Age civilization thrived between 3000 and 2000 BC, reaching its peak in the period between 2000 and 1630 BC.[9]
Many of the houses in Akrotiri are major structures, some of them three storeys high. Its streets, squares, and walls were preserved in the layers of ejecta, sometimes as tall as eight metres, indicating this was a major town. In many houses stone staircases are still intact, and they contain huge ceramic storage jars (pithoi), mills, and pottery. Noted archaeological remains found in Akrotiri are wall paintings or frescoes that have kept their original colour well, as they were preserved under many metres of volcanic ash. Judging from the fine artwork, its citizens were sophisticated and relatively wealthy people. Among more complete frescoes found in one house are two antelopes painted with a confident calligraphic line, a man holding fish strung by their gills, a flotilla of pleasure boats that are accompanied by leaping dolphins, and a scene of women sitting in the shade of light canopies. Fragmentary wall-paintings found at one site are Minoan frescoes that depict "Saffron-gatherers" offering crocus-stamens to a seated woman, perhaps a goddess important to the Akrotiri culture. The themes of the Akrotiri frescoes show no relationship to the typical content of the Classical Greek dcor of 510 BC to 323 BC that depict the Greek pantheon deities.
