www.bbc.comSantorini volcano probed for clues about next big explosionScientists are investigating for the first time how dangerous the island's next big one could be.

Kurzer Medienrummel-Nachklapp zu #Santorini (ihr erinnert euch vielleicht ganz vage): Scheint, die Erdbeben waren tatsächlich nur ein ganz normaler Schwarm. Inzwischen hat sich die Lage beruhigt, die Leute kehren auf die Insel zurück.

Das war auch, anders als Teile der Berichterstattung suggeriert hatten, immer das wahrscheinlichste Ergebnis.

... so the nephews dove for some mussels & sea urchins, organized a heap of imported shrimps & a dozen fresh oysters.

The older generation meanwhile collected & boiled wild herbs, cooked fava beans & draped around green onions & vegetables because of Καθαρή Δευτέρα

As wine & tsikoudia {spirit] are off limits they had beers to comply with the Orthodox requirements for fasting.
They are such a lovely bunch of resilient & hedonistic souls...

The quakies between the north cape namely Oia and Amorgos island have gotten weaker. Schools opened again, Santorinians returning. Family will move back to their home on the Caldera cliffs.

Down in Baxedes, the safest spot around they resisted all calls for evacuation. Yesterday was Καθαρή Δευτέρα [Pure Monday] a high Orthodox holy day, start of the fasting period before Easter.

Twin M5.1 earthquakes hit Santorini area, Ios becomes fourth island under state of emergency, Greece

Ios became the fourth island in the Aegean to be placed under a state of emergency on February 15, following the trend set by Santorini on February 6, Amorgos on February 12, and Anafi on February 13, due to the ongoing seismic activity in the region since late January 2025. On January 18, two M5.1 quakes were registered between Santorini and Amorgos, shaking the area with enough intensity to be felt across multiple islands. #Ios #Santorini #Greece #earthquakes
