Shaking Santorini Multiple Earthquakes Rattle Greece's Volcanic Island

Greece, a country situated in a seismically active region of the world, is no stranger to earthquakes. While many quakes pose little threat, others have been devastating. In response, authorities take proactive measures to prepare for potential disasters.

Santorini, one of Greece's most beloved tourist destinations, has a unique history shaped by a massive volcanic eruption in ancient times. Today, millions of visitors flock to the island each year to marvel at its breathtaking scenery, featuring whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches perched precariously on the rim of the flooded caldera.

Recently, scientists detected increased volcanic activity within the caldera, but reassured that it is not linked to the earthquakes.

What's Behind the Seismic Activity?

Between Saturday and Monday afternoon, authorities recorded approximately 200 earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 3 to 4.9, affecting both Santorini and the nearby island of Amorgos. The fault line responsible for these quakes stretches roughly 120 kilometers (75 miles), but only the southern portion between Santorini and Amorgos has been activated.

What Precautions Are Being Taken?

In response to the seismic activity, authorities dispatched a team of rescuers equipped with a sniffer dog and drones to Santorini. A staging area was set up in a basketball court adjacent to the island's main hospital, while push alerts were sent to cellphones warning people to avoid areas prone to rock slides and banning access to certain coastal areas.

A Historical Context

The fault line currently producing quakes was also responsible for Greece's largest earthquake of the last century the 7.7-magnitude Amorgos earthquake in 1956, which triggered a roughly 20-meter (65-foot) tsunami, causing significant damage and claiming over 50 lives in Amorgos and Santorini.

What Are Authorities Concerned About?

Scientists are working to determine whether the recent earthquakes are foreshocks or smaller tremors preceding a more significant event. Papadopoulos suggests that there is a high probability they are. Authorities have advised people to steer clear of areas where rock slides may occur and to identify escape routes in built-up areas.

Could the Earthquakes Trigger a Volcanic Eruption?

Santorini lies along the Hellenic Volcanic Arc, which spans from southern Greece's Peloponnese region through the Cycladic islands. Last Wednesday, Greece's Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Ministry reported that monitoring sensors had detected mild seismic-volcanic activity within the island's caldera. Similar volcanic activity was recorded in 2011, lasting for 14 months without any major issues.

What Are the Potential Risks?

The sheer cliffs of Santorini also make certain areas prone to rock slides. Authorities have warned people to avoid coastal areas and head inland if they experience a significant earthquake.
