Thera Expedition Log: 5/05/06

Today the weather was a bit rough so we worked inside the caldera during the morning. We attempted to take some dredges of some interesting underwater features in the southern part of the caldera near the Kameni islands. The operation was a bit tricky because of the ship traffic and we had to some maneuvering to avoid some big cruise ships (see the photo).

The dredges were successful and we then moved to the southwest of Thera to attempt an ROV dive. The weather was still too rough so we continued with some gravity and piston coring in the area of Kolombo volcano.
