Magma movements in the Aegean Sea pose a significant threat to Santorini and surrounding islands.

In early 2025, over 28,000 earthquakes were recorded around Santorini, caused by rising magma. This situation has led to increased seismic activity and heightened volcanic eruption risks.

The Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research and GEOMAR have mapped the seismic crisis in detail using artificial intelligence. Approximately 300 million cubic meters of magma have risen from deep within the earth, reaching four kilometers below the seabed.

Santorini has experienced many volcanic eruptions throughout history. The nearby Kolumbo underwater volcano is also active, making it essential to monitor the region's seismic movements and magma dynamics closely.

The Greek government is establishing an emergency escape port in Santorini to ensure that people can safely evacuate the island in the event of a major earthquake. This is a critical measure for the safety of the local population.

While seismologists report a decrease in the frequency of earthquakes affecting Santorini and nearby islands, it remains uncertain whether tremors will continue in the coming weeks.

During this process, regular information sharing is conducted with Greek authorities to ensure public safety. Our goal is to provide the fastest and most accurate assessments in the event of new earthquakes.
