A frightening statement regarding the volcanism in the Aegean, where seismic activity continues, has come from Professor of Earthquake Sciences Panayotis Papadimitriou. Noting that the New Kameni volcano in Santorini has become active, Papadimitriou emphasized that an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 to 6.3 could occur.

Although the effects of the 'earthquake storm' in the Aegean Sea are diminishing, they continue.
TWO POSSIBLE SCENARIOS
Retired Earthquake Sciences Professor Panayotis Papadimitriu from the University of Athens stated in remarks to the Greek press that volcanic activity is associated with ground deformation in the region. The professor focused on two possible scenarios regarding the seismic activity experienced in Santorini and the nearby Yamurgi Island.
A 6-6.3 EARTHQUAKE MAY OCCUR
Papadimitriu emphasized that according to the first scenario, the seismic activity may weaken and eventually stop over time, but in the second scenario, an earthquake of magnitude 6 to 6.3 could occur. He also stated that such an earthquake would not have a significant impact on the surrounding islands because the epicenter is far away.
"IT BECAME ACTIVE FROM THE END OF JANUARY"
Papadimitriu stated, "We should keep in mind that the New Kameni volcano became active from the end of January and will keep us busy in the future."
