Many years ago, half of the island of Santorini with its highly developed civilisation simply dissppeared beneath the sea. Not far from here, the myth of Atlantis was first brought to world attention. This disaster, caused by the single most violent eruption that has ever happened, wiped a unique civilisation off the face of the planet, but until now the scale of the calamity has remained unknown. Equinox examines one of the greatest natural catastrophes ever to hit the western world, and one of its greatest mysteries.
