Euro-Mediterranean Seismic Centre: Possible volcanic excitation in Santorini in the last hours – What the experts say

The scientists of the Centre speak of increased seismic activity that may be due to magma movement in the area of Andros

Phrixos Drakondidis February 14 11:25

The area of Santorini has been experiencing increased seismic activity in recent hours, with the recording of harmonic vibrations indicating possible volcanic excitation, according to the European Seismological Network.

These tremors may be due to the movement of magmatic fluids in the seismogenic space of the Anudros.

See the post from the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre:

It is confirmed. There is a more or less continuous tremor in the area of #Santorini. It seems that nothing can be seen (but it is night time) but that some noise can be heard. We do not know for sure what is going on https://t.co/ucIfgqPTU4

As experts point out to protothema.gr, similar phenomena have been observed in the past, such as in 2011-2012, without leading to a volcanic eruption.

Experts recommend calm, as the movement of fluids may stop in the coming days.
