The recent increase in seismic activity in Santorini has caused concern among the local population and visitors to the island.
MORE THAN 11,000 PEOPLE HAVE LEFT THE ISLAND
In the last two weeks, numerous earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 3.5 to 5.2 have led to more than 11,000 people leaving the island, while authorities have begun to take additional safety measures against a possible major earthquake.
Those living in coastal areas have decided to leave their homes to feel safer, either moving inland or completely departing from Santorini. The island's always vibrant tourist spots have been negatively affected by this situation.
ALARMING WARNING FROM AHMET ERCAN
While the earthquakes in the Aegean Sea raise concerns, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ercan made an important statement regarding the Kolumbus Volcano, located about 7 kilometers beneath Santorini Island.
Ercan stated, "We perceive the bubbling of the viscous pumice lava in the magma chamber and the pressure-driven magma supply eruptions from deep as small earthquakes. Once the magma chamber is sufficiently filled, an eruption may begin."
