When you read the news section on that site. It sounds like an eruption is expected in the next few weeks from another volcano on Iceland too. Not sure how near to each other the two are though.

There seems to be a quite large and ongoing quake swarm in the vicinity of the Kolumbo subsea volcano about 5 miles to the NE of Santorini. I’m not sure if it will amount to anything or is related to any volcanic activity but maybe worth watching?

Authorities seem jittery. Schools closing on Monday and hotels asked to drain their pools. Clearly worried that a major quake could be brewing. They seem to think though that the seismic activity is not related to volcanic activity. However with a 4.6 magnitude quake registered this afternoon very close to the volcano you mention Michael, something odd is going on. That said the last uptick in 2011/12 settled with nothing significant happening. The area can’t be ignored though with some of the biggest volcanic events in history having occurred in the vicinity.

My mum lives on the north coast of Crete 13km from Chania. The Greek authorities seem quite concerned with developments. She has also received an email from the UK government asking to avoid these areas.

There is still a lot of activity currently (although possibly not quite as much as earlier today).

Latest earthquake up to 5.2, thus roughly twice as strong as the previous 4.9. (difference of 0.3 = ln(2))

I am not sure of the implications but I have noticed a couple of periods of continuous tremor in the last few days on the Santorini seismographs. Usually this is associated with fluid (magma) movement. It may well come to nothing but adds to my suspicions that not all the activity in the area is purely tectonic.

Another area to keep an eye on is Campi Flegrei (by Naples in Italy) as there has been a steady increase in activity there over the last few years and most notably in the last year, as discussed here: 

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-56723-y 

It goes without saying that any eruption there would be problematic. There was a magnitude 3.9 quake there this afternoon (depth 3km) and there have been a number of quakes in the vicinity in recent weeks.

Another eruption is supposidly about to occur in Iceland also.

It looks possible (probable?) that there may be another eruption in Iceland imminently.

This may lead to an eruption.
