  • A swarm of over 1,200 earthquakes in early 2025 revealed a shared magma source between Santorini Island and the nearby Kolumbo submarine volcano, located in Greece.
  • Seismic and GPS data showed that both volcanoes experienced surface deflation.
  • It was suggesting that the magma moved from a deep reservoir beneath the Aegean volcanic arc in Greece, feeding both systems.
  • Santorini began swelling in July 2024, indicating magma buildup, followed by a migration of earthquake activity in January 2025.
  • This is the first confirmed magmatic connection between the two volcanoes.
