The Stefanos Crater,Nissyros (best viewed on black) 1

The last volcanic eruption was in 1873,but steam and sulphur bubble up to the surface of the crater all the time.It's recommended to wear strong,old shoes when walking across the crater as the surface is still quite hot underfoot.
Part of the 'James Bond' film "Moonraker" was filmed here.
Another view of the crater is on my second page,viewed from the village of Nikia above the caldera.
Many thanks for all your views,comments and favs,always much appreciated.

Great capture of the texture. The inclusion of the tiny people shows the size of the crater very well

I agree those tiny people really give a sense of scale.
