A significant number of earthquakes have recently been recorded originating from the active volcano on the island of Santorini, Greece. Geological surveys indicate a potential shared magma system with a history of explosive activity. The series of tremors has prompted analysis focusing on the subterranean plumbing beneath the volcano. Researchers are examining the patterns and depth of the fault lines to determine the extent of the interconnectedness between the two volcanoes. This investigation aims to understand the potential for future seismic events and to assess the risk to the surrounding region.
