Magma spot also detected 4km depth. All Greek seismometer traces appear to have stopped at about 0950 UT. The all-Greece maps and individual 'meter info still appearing though, so suspect the site has a fault. Have to go to Athens on Sunday, possibly Santorini for a few hours on Wednesday. Bet it rains! |

Main topic of conversation among the one friend I found who wasn't on holiday in Thailand was the fact that activity around Santorini has stopped! Apparently there is disagreement in the middle newspaper pages.Some think it has finished, others think it may be building up for a big movement. Only time will tell. Nice bit of video from US Anon, and an interesting blog site from Ostria1. Thanks. |

There is no information about what is situation water tempature or how much nea kameni push up gas nowdays. Hoply we can get more information what is situation. But it looks like that magma spot wich one become beneath nea kameni is growing and it is not good. |

Problem is i'm quite sure that there is volcanic movemnt wich one tells that magma chamber grows. Also there have been lots of small earthquakes in santorini caldera and in kolumbo volcano. This place is no more quiet. |

That picture shows if santorini goes up and scenario is worst one those arrows show how it explodes Like that article said magma chamber grows and hoply it came up before it start to melt too much that crystal around island. If it happens there is serious problems. |

One friend owning a shop in Fira "felt something a couple of weeks ago" All are aware of the situation, but are very careful about what they say - quite understandable. Archaeological site at Akrotiri has reopened. Come to Santorini and see a town buried in volcanic ash 1707 years before Pompeii, there's a very nice cross-section showing surge deposits too. |

Magma spot also detected 4km depth. Newman, a geophysicist in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, cannot be certain whether an eruption is imminent since observations of such activity on these types of volcanoes are limited. In fact, similar calderas around the globe have shown comparable activity without erupting. However, Newman says the chamber has expanded by 14 million cubic meters since last January. That means enough magma has been pumped into the chamber to fill a sphere three football fields across. [link to www.cos.gatech.edu] |

The Santorini volcano caldera is awake again and rapidly deforming – April 18, 2012 Santorini is a volcanic island that has been relatively calm since its last eruption in 1950. But, its caldera is awake again and rapidly deforming at levels never seen before. Georgia Tech Associate Professor Andrew Newman has studied Santorini since setting up more than 20 GPS stations on the island in 2006 After decades of little activity, a series of earthquakes and deformation began within the Santorini caldera in January of 2011,” said Newman, whose research is published by Geophysical Research Letters. “Since then, our instruments on the northern part of the island have moved laterally between five and nine centimeters. The volcano’s magma chamber is filling, and we are keeping a close eye on its activity... ReadMore: [link to thewatchers.adorraeli.com] |

I not suprised that there is new hot spring if magma spot is about 4km belof surface and there is some water source above magma. Let see and wait what will happen. |

Magma spot also detected 4km depth. Things have calmed down in more ways than one! Little wind to affect seismometers, but not much showing up anyway. Discolouration in caldera is strongest between the two Kameni islands, but is noticeable at several places around Nea. I have not been able to get over to Nea due to the winds, and then running out of time (I have a hospital appointment in UK this pm) I have given a lot of addresses to an interested friend in Kamari and he is going to try to keep me up to date. Talking to an Air Traffic Controller at the airport yesterday, she said she had felt a quake in the tower about an hour earlier - that would be roughly 0830 UT. A rather amusing story is circulating amongst the less scientifically minded - "During the period of strongest winds Nea Kameni erupted and nobody noticed" !!!!!! I've left a message with Santo Wines requesting them to point their webcam further towards Nea Kameni when they reinstall it. I will be back to Santorini as soon as the Medics permit. |
