Friday, 13th May Field excursion
The field excursion took in some of the more spectacular hyperalkaline springs of Mount Olympus along with a few of the significant bentonite sampling sites of CNAP in and around the Troodos Massif. The highest site is at 1600 m in a north-facing gully (360 degree interactive view shown below).
