Santorini (nea kameni volcano) unrest. Water tempature in caldera rising! Magma spot also detected 4km depth.

jgl is jgl! Been a bit lax about keeping an eye on Santorini, let alone Lesvos! Looking at flights to Santo on or about 16 April, for 6 months returning for Medical chcks at cheap flight times so will be keeping a closer look from now on.

Will be in Santorini from 17th April

There's more discolouration of the water in the caldera than I've ever seen before. Most appears to come from between the two volcanic islands. I've noticed a new spring off the east coast - it is close to the location of several small quakes in the last 90 days. It is gloriously sunny here!!

Re 5.8 quake S of Crete 16th 1611 UTC. Never felt a thing and I was relaxing on my bed - almost disappointing. Aftershocks showing on Santo seismograms.

Research boat "Aegaeo" is parked over Coloumbo. Don't know what she is doing, but I've heard a rumour that rare metals have been found in the hydrothermal zone. Otherwise nothing has happened over the past four months!

Aegaio is now parked in the Northern caldera basin.

Aegeon went out to Kolumbo yesterday, and is at this moment in the Santorini Caldera. I've seen recent articles about CO2 in the Kolumbo caldera - perhaps she is looking for changes. Could be following up on Nautilus' visit a couple of years ago.

MM6.3 just to the West of Crete felt distinctly at the Kamara Beach Bar, Santorini. To and fro movement seemed to be about 3", for about 20 seconds. Fluid in drinks rippling, but no effect seen on sea surface - almost flat calm. Friend's swimming pool was "sloshing about"! No aftershocks felt . . . yet?

Going home tomorrow (sob) Santo volcanics presently peaceful - very few minor quakes, virtually no caldera staining. Guide tells me that the steaming from Nea Kameni is less every day. Not heard any reports from Aegeon's visit. Abramovitch's yacht Eclipse at present parked between Nea and Palea Kameni! Roll on April 2014!

Back to Santorinii on Saturday!!

Keep us updated! Santorini is beautiful!

Will do! Local free WiFi is starting up now. Nea Kameni is quiet, little staining in caldera. Koloumbo - a few very small quakes, but nothing in the last few days.

lol op starte this shit in 2011 , doom off fuckers!

Research boat "aegaeo" is back in the caldera sitting over the centre of the recent inflation. Doom may be off, but there's no need for bad language!

Nothing is happening! Well - not volcanogenic anyway!

Quake felt here this am, but turned out be to off E Crete. Scared a visiting kitten though! We go back to UK soon. Volcanos quiet.

A massive volcanic blowout of the Santorini caldera and resultant seismic activity (which occurred around the 3rd millennium B.C., I believe) could cause a tsunami heading west across the Mediterranean Sea, and possibly out through the "pillars of Hercules" (Straits of Gibraltar) into the Atlantic Ocean, where it could've destroyed Atlantis (wherever in the Atlantic it might've been).

Remember the Indonesian earthquake caused the tsunami that wreaked havoc on coastal Japan.

Santorini/Atlantis! No need to mess about with other locations.
The Minoan period civilisation here was very advanced and it's destruction
Is doubtless the source of the Atlantis "legend".
I'm back there! Very little quake activity over winter.
Slight staining around the Kamenis.
Really MUST visit Nea this year.

Very little quake activity? We just got rattled by a 6.4 just to the East of Crete. Might shake something loose here!

Caldera/Coloumbo - all is peace and tranquility! No quakes for ages, only slight staining.

tempting fate? lol

Yeah-I could indeed be tempting fate! I do spend time rehearsing what to do if/when another big quake hits us. Depends on where you are, in bed, walking somewhere, having a coffee (it's a hard life here). Tsunami is possible too, one hit here after the 1956 twin quakes.

Looking at the local seismometers - hardly anything nearby at all so perhaps no moving magma. But things can change . . .

Eek! Only just got back to Santorini and we have had three small quakes, one at Koloumbo! Not seen any at all for several months.

Nothing more. Heavy rain has produced extra caldera staining. R/V Med Surveyor is parked in the Caldera.

Kos/Turkey 6.7 quake felt here. Distinct wobbling for several seconds, pool rippling. Seismograms crazy with aftershocks. Locals apprehensive in case it triggers something near or under Santorini. Nothing. . .yet? Staying away from places where things could fall on me!

Still quiet here.

Still quiet here. Research Vessel Poseidon is doing oval circuits around Koloumbo. Looking for changes? Trying to find her schedule but no luck so far. She’s been here several times in the last few years.

Poseidon is mainly investigating Koloumbo’s
history. Secondaries are the caldera and the Amorgos Fault Zone.

12 Oct 2020.Just got back to Santo. Very little activity around caldera. However, two MM5+ shocks about 100 miles to SSE, didn't feel anything but Nea Kameni seismometer crazy with aftershocks. Waiting to see if anything triggered here.

I'm jgl not Anon!
