The Oceanus-Lab research team from Patras University has conducted studies at Aitoliko’s underwater ‘volcano’, revealing that it is not a true volcano but rather a submarine hill potentially linked to gas escapes. Professor Georgios Papadodouros discusses initial findings related to the delicate ecosystem in the area. Historical visits to the site noted previous sulfur emissions. The ongoing research aims to determine if the formation can be classified as a mud volcano, with further investigation into nearby underwater craters. Advanced sonar and robotic systems were utilized for the exploration.
