Santorini’s Famous Sunset

After the tragic sinking of a cruise ship near Santorini on April 6 from which two passengers are still missing, Reuters is now reporting that the island’s environment is being dangerously threatened by fuel trapped inside the ship. I find this most recent news to be very unsettling. My mom and I visited Santorini a few years ago and thought everything about it was fabulous. The island’s natural landscape was complemented by the friendly locals, comfortable accommodations and great island cuisine. The cruise ship had its mishap in between Santorini’s main island and its active volcano island—which hopefully will be unharmed by the ship’s fuel. If you’re ever lucky enough to visit, make sure to take a boat over to that volcano – it’s amazing. The most recent news regarding the two missing passengers is grim, but hopefully they will be found soon and in good health. Are there any other places you can think of that have been threatened by humanity – either by accidents or commercialism?
