Greece’s iconic island of Santorini, famous for its sun-drenched cliffs and azure waters, is now making headlines for a different reason: increased volcanic activity. 🌋 The country’s Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Ministry detected \"mild seismic-volcanic activity\" in the island’s caldera, sparking precautionary meetings between officials and disaster response teams.
🕵️♂️ Sensors first picked up the tremors this week, prompting officials to review safety protocols. But don’t cancel your travel plans just yet! Similar activity occurred in 2011 and lasted over a year without causing harm. \"We’re monitoring closely,\" a ministry spokesperson said. \"There’s no immediate danger, but preparedness is key.\"
📱 For travelers and island residents, the news is a reminder of Santorini’s fiery origins—the island itself was shaped by a massive volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago. Stay tuned for updates as scientists keep watch over the Aegean’s sleeping giant.
