Santorini on High Alert Amid Surge in Seismic Activity
Santorini, a popular tourist destination in Greece, is currently experiencing a swarm of earthquakes, with over 200 tremors recorded recently, including a 4.8 magnitude quake. Emergency crews have been deployed to the island, and schools have been shut down as authorities heighten their response to the increasing seismic activity. Experts are convening to assess the situation, raising concerns about the potential for a larger earthquake or volcanic eruption. While some scientists reassure the public that a major eruption is unlikely, the island remains on alert, with warnings issued to locals and tourists alike to avoid indoor gatherings. In response to the situation, additional flights have been scheduled to accommodate possible evacuations. The seismic activity has prompted the Greek government to closely monitor developments and ensure the safety of residents and visitors.
