Volcanic Legacies In The Atlantic - Ep. 97 Thula Sailing
This time we are swallowed by volcanic legacies in the underground of Terceira. Spooky, creepy, wet and chilly ? and super exciting crawling along an almost 700m long lava tube used for Christmas masses and weddings in the Azores! The 2000 year old Algar do Carvão cave 550m above sea level surprises us with massive stalagtites and black walls. Once again we climb into the vent of an extinct volcano. No fun for claustrophobic people! Poisonous "smoke" coming out of the ground at the Furnas do Enxofre once more visualize how active the underground of the Azores actually is covering the surrounding rocks with trendy colors. And last but not least before leaving Terceira for mainland Europe we visit the sheltered magnificent Renaissance city Angra do Heroismo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was massively damaged by the 1980 earthquake, also felt on the neighboring island Graciosa. Lots of history, geology and interesting background facts this time! Enjoy :)
