Santorini caldera. Credit: Bongo Vongo / CC-BY-SA-2.0 A recent wave of quakes that shook the Greek island of Santorini earlier this year has been linked to underground volcanic activity, with scientists pointing to a hidden magma flow as the cause of the month-long unrest. The discovery challenges earlier assumptions that the tremors were related to fault lines, offering new insight into how magma flow may have sparked the Santorini quakes. The …
Reviving Volcanic Surveillance: A Hidden Tank Under the Sea Monitors Santorini's Earthquakes
In February 2025, more than 2,000 earthquakes rocked Santorini and its region, causing massive evacuations on the Greek island. Unlike expectations, no eruption has occurred, and known volcanoes remained silent. This situation forced scientists to review their hypotheses on the origin of tremors. A series of studies by the University of Oregon, published in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, reveals that the magma can circulate la…
