Anedosa
Υou
may have noticed yesterday something really peculiar: a thick cloud raising
quickly on the west side of the caldera and spreading in Pyrgos and Fira. You,
the lucky visitors of Santorini, have experienced the rare local natural
phenomenon “anedosa”, which is generated by the temperature difference between
the volcano and the island, especially with west winds. It looks like fog or
smoke and rises abruptly from the caldera spreading onto the rest of the island
and then dissolves. Because of the lack
of rain, “anedosa” is thus considered beneficial for the island, as it provides
the necessary humidity to the vines.
