User ID: 11910836 Canada 04/25/2012 11:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Volcano Watch : Greece - Santorini volcano showing signs of rapid inflation !!! GREECE – About 3600 years ago, at the height of Minoan civilization, Santorini let loose with one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history. The explosion blanketed nearby islands with piles of ash hundreds of feet thick and sent out a gigantic tsunami that devastated Crete, about 68 miles to the south. Smaller eruptions across the ensuing millennia ended abruptly in 1950. Then, after 60 years of calm, the caldera reawakened early last year with an escalating swarm of earthquakes. When geologists took a closer look, they could see the ground was swelling as well, as though the sleeping giant were yawning. The earthquakes and ground deformation scientists observed between 2011 and early 2012 are unprecedented since the 1950 eruption. But just because a volcano is sucking in breath doesn’t mean it will spew. Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull stratovolcano really let loose in 2010 after its own swarm of deformation-driven tremors, but Long Valley caldera in California has been breathing heavily since 1980 with no eruption at all. In a recent analysis of the volcano published in Geophysical Research Letters, scientists estimate Santorini’s latest inflation is due to 14.1 million cubic meters of magma accumulating in a chamber about 4.5 kilometers below the surface. That may sound like a scary-big mass of melted rock, but it represents only about 0.03 percent of the estimated eruptive volume from the monstrous 1650 B.C. eruption—not nearly enough for a repeat performance. Should Santorini erupt, it will most likely be a relatively tame event, the study’s authors say. link : [ link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com] a.k.a.

There is a book by, I think, J Luce. Title may be End of Atlantis. He makes the suggestion that there is a mistranslation - not Red Sea, but Sea of Reeds on the Med. coast. I have the book, but not to hand. I've seen a suggestion that the survivors of the Minoan Eruption and the Philistines were one and the same!! |

Cool I'm going to be at ther real ruins of Atlantis (Santorini) visting the recently reopened Museum at Akrotiri on November 6-7. I'll try to vidtape the caldera and post here during my stay. P.S. Don't bother to try to tell me its not the real Atlantis PLato referred to. I've studied way too much archeology and ancient history to put up with any non scientific nonsense. |

I have no doubts whatsoever that the Minoan eruption is the source of the "Legend" of Atlantis!! Akrotiri site is magnificent! Forecast says a bit of rain next week so we will visit again. (Don't forget it's closed on Mondays) |

Posted this in another thread too! The volcano is now urgently under official 24 hour scientific monitoring. [ link to translate.google.gr] And to add a bit of mystery for the conspiracytards! 3 German warships around the volcano and Santorini! [ link to translate.google.gr] About 1 month ago, people from Chania, Crete reported strange noises. The official explanation was airforce military drills. Laboratory of Geophysics and Seismology, recorded five vibrations that are man-made according to them. [ link to translate.google.gr] A big NATO/US military base is near Chania with some strange activity reported lately. [ link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Hey there Insert ! I hope this thing deflates back and no eruption happens or if an eruption does occur, I hope it's small and Greece won't be affected ! Stay safe ! |

Quoting: subzero86 Hello SZ86, hope all is well with you! Thnx for wishes and kind words! Tbh i don't think it's something serious yet, but you know i'm a doomtard, i got to feed my needs with something, lol! Lots of exploration for oil and natural gas in the Aegean these days, maybe some things are connected regarding the noises and vibrations. |
