[:ja]アレックス・ゲルスト宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したギリシャのサントリーニ島です。
サントリーニ島は、エーゲ海のキクラデス諸島南部に位置するギリシャ領の島で、かつて大爆発を起こした火山が形成したカルデラ地形の一部で、その外輪山にあたります。「サントリーニ島」の名はカルデラ全体、すなわち本島を含めた5つの島々（サントリーニ諸島）の総称としても用いられます。カルデラ湾を望む断崖の上に白壁の家々が密集する景観でも知られており、エーゲ海の著名な観光地の1つです。一方で、サントリーニ・カルデラ内では現在も活な火山活動があります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.785: Santorini, Greece🇬🇷
Astronaut Alex Gerst captured from ISS .
Santorini is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200km southeast of Greece’s mainland. Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera. The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history: the Minoan eruption, which occurred some 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The two main sources of wealth in Santorini are agriculture and tourism. Santorini remains the home of a small, but flourishing wine industry, based on the indigenous Assyrtiko grape variety.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
