What Can I Do?

23/04/2024 12:00 PM 23/04/2024 7:30 PM 38 Field Seminar: Realmonte Salt Mine Excursion This half-day field trip provides you with a unique opportunity to visit one of the three salt mines still active in Sicily, located nearby the town of Realmonte in the southern part of the island. The Realmonte mine (Italkali salt mine) has been producing the ‘80s and offers the possibility to observe a considerable thickness (400 to 600 m) of halite and kainite, as well as anhydrite, that were deposited at the peak of the Messinian Salinity Crisis during Late Miocene. Plastic tectonic deformation is another characteristic of this salt deposit adding to its peculiarity. The mine is also famous for some spectacular sculptures carved in the salt by mine workers. Pricing Fee: €50 Attendee Limit: Min 10 – Max 50 People Registration Deadline: 11 April 2024 Note: To secure your spot on the field trip kindly register your interest. Once the registration deadline has passed, we will inform you if your place on the trip is confirmed and share a payment link with you.
