Unsettling Quakes: Monitoring the Santorini Volcano
Santorini, a picturesque island renowned for its breathtaking views and rich history, finds itself at the center of mounting concerns due to a swarm of earthquakes occurring in the region. Residents have reported feeling seismic tremors every ten minutes, indicating an alarming increase in volcanic activity. This situation has prompted experts from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to initiate a comprehensive monitoring process. The critical question now is whether these frequent earthquakes might signal the reawakening of the island's dormant volcano, potentially setting the stage for a catastrophic event.
