is the third-largest of the Cyclades Islands, a historic and very attractive island complex of the Aegean Sea.
Below you will find a photograph taken on the last day of the Symposium,
as well as a cartoon on the situation in Athens Airport
during the first days of the Symposium. Also available: the Paros Panel Paper, which will appear in Physics and Chemistry of the Earth:
