Santorini earthquakes decreasing but outlook uncertain

Seismic activity on the popular tourist island of Santorini in Greece is gradually decreasing, geology professor Euthymios Lekkas said on Thursday as he monitors the situation.

Since February 1, thousands of underwater earthquakes of up to 5.3 magnitude have been recorded in the Aegean Sea off the coast of Santorini. This prompted authorities to declare a state of emergency for at least a month. More than 11,000 people, including many seasonal workers, have fled the island.

Meanwhile, Lekkas said the tremors will continue for a short time and then things will return to normal.

Additional seismographs have been installed on the uninhabited island of Nea Kameni near Santorini to assess the impact of seismic activity on the local volcano. The last eruption here was in 1950. The volcano is still active. But according to Lekkas, the seismic activity has nothing to do with it.

Santorini is one of the most popular summer holiday destinations in Europe. The island’s economy is heavily dependent on tourism. The unrelenting tremors forced holidaymakers to leave in haste. However, locals have mostly stayed. Authorities are urging people to stay away from the mountains as there could be rock falls.

The Greek government plans to build an evacuation port on the island to ensure safe evacuation of people in case of a strong earthquake.

"Pre-earthquake signals were just recently observed...that strongly suggest that a high magnitude #earthquake may be about to occur in the location of the ongoing massive seimsic swarm in the #AegeanSea off the coast of #SantoriniVolcano"

South Greek islanders are having one hell of a night… literally

The worst is that the biggest quakes that occurred recently had a focal depth of only 2 - 3 km (if these speculations are accurate) which is crazy and makes me wonder whether those scientists who say the magma is rising are right (most scientists say the phenomenon is tectonic and not volcanic).

I hope everyone is and stays safe but I kinda can’t go to sleep when I see this shit

In case anyone is interested in what's up with the Santorini earthquakes the past couple of days...

These are the earthquakes in the rest of the country as a comparison.

So I said I was gonna shift alarming politics off to my sideblog, but lol, interesting times. One of my geology blorbos is misbehaving. [Edit: Not the geologist. The geology. I have a Thing for Santorini]

I almost didn't click on the clickbait title, but the excitable young geologist gives a more informative explainer than any other I've seen.

🌋📈 Найгірше попереду, застерігають сейсмологи. Влада вже закрила школи і дитсадки, а туристи масово тікають з острова. Подробиці👇

Have some neat Volcano pics!

Here is Stromboli putting on a little show for us yesterday:

And here are some pictures from our current stop, Santorini. This is Nea Kameni, the current center of eruptive activity in the caldera.

Παγκόσμιος τρόμος από fake video στο TikTok - Εξερράγη το ηφαίστειο της Σαντορίνης

Fake βίντεο που δείχνουν τη Σαντορίνη να παραδίδεται στην οργή του ηφαιστείου σπέρνει τον πανικό στο διαδίκτυο. Τα βίντεο, φτιαγμένα με λογισμικό τεχνητής νοημοσύνης, αναπαράχθηκαν στο TikTok και έχει αναπαραχθεί από πολλούς λογαριασμούς.

According to the app Earthquake (Σεισμός in its Greek language version) with international coverage (if you live in a seismic country download it right now), as I am writing this at 16:00 there have been 220 earthquakes since midnight, occurring around Santorini and the South Cyclades islands, across the Aegean arc (also known as Hellenic arc). While many scientists say the cause is tectonic and not volcanic, some scientists from Greece and abroad support they are indeed volcanic warnings.

It’s not good news either way…

The earthquakes seem to slowly increase in magnitude with the biggest one at 5.0 R two hours ago. There have been small landfalls reported in Santorini, an island with hilltop built towns.

The last explosion of the Thira (Santorini) volcano occurred in 1950.

The local population is evacuating the island with ships and airplanes just to be sure.
