Cool visualization of the earthquakes in the Aegean through 2/6 (hope they update this). Dark purple is deeper... orange is shallow. #santorini #kolumbo #earthquakes #volcano

Wake up, check to see if Santorini is still there or not. Or, hoping for a glance of Godzilla. Still there, but NO Godzilla 😢
Underwater seismographs planned to study Santorini’s Kolumbo volcano
Four state-of-the-art portable underwater seismographs that will study the underwater volcano of Kolumbo in Santorini were being installed inside the caldera on Tuesday and next to the submarine fault of Anydros, by an international team of researchers, following a spike in seismic activity in the area.
The team includes scientists from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in Kiel and the University of Potsdam, as well as the professor of Geological ...

"Such earthquake swarms are not uncommon under active volcanic systems and have also been observed repeatedly under Santorini and Kolumbo (Bohnhoff et al. 2006). One possible cause is volcanic activity, i.e. molten rock or other fluids rising upwards in the earth's crust. Another possibility is the movement of the earth's plates, which can lead to stresses in the rock and the sudden release of these stresses and thus to earthquakes."
6. February 2025/Kiel/Potsdam. An accumulation of weak to moderate earthquakes has been recorded around Santorini since 24 January. The seismic activity is concentrated in the area between the islands of Santorini and Amorgos, with a centre around 25 km north-east of Santorini. The GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences Potsdam classify the current events in eight questions and answers.
""I'm not afraid at all," says one Santorini resident, who decided to stay put on the volcanic island despite thousands of her neighbours fleeing amid the ongoing earthquakes.
Chantal Metakides insists that she would not be joining her compatriots. "For 500 years, this house has lived through earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and it's still standing," she told AFP news agency, adding, "there's no reason why this should change"."
