World Environment Day 2026

In Nisyros, science meets nature in a unique open-air laboratory.

The photographs shared by participants of the 5th Summer School of Physical Sciences capture valuable moments of biodiversity, volcanic landscapes, geological formations, and the people exploring the Nisyros UNESCO Global Geopark.

From colorful insects adapted to the island’s environment to volcanic rocks that reveal the history of our planet, each image reminds us that environmental protection begins with observation, knowledge, and respect.
