“So far, what seems to be following the features of the flocks,” SKAI told SKAI Vassilis KarastathisDirector of the Athens Geodynamic Institute, invited to comment on earthquake activity in the Cyclists.

As he explained, the semantic implies seismic vibrations of similar sizes. He stressed that by talking about recession we mean a recession in the number of earthquakes of strong Richter (eg more than four), just as it is observed on the 7th of the month onwards.

In any case, he summarize that we should not be in a hurry to talk about expanding the phenomenon, as such a conclusion can be drawn after a few days, as the phenomena will be studied by experts.

“We are waiting for the details. That is, we have to look at this for a long time, ”he said characteristically, saying that some first conclusions may be drawn from next week and adding that any changes are taking place in very slow times.

“Just having a sign of recession does not mean it will be maintained,” he admitted, stressing that it would not be unlikely that the number of earthquakes would even increase in a few days.

Richter’s dance well holds

The seismic vibrations bar in the Cyclades continues, with residents anxiously watching the evolution of the phenomenon, while the first cruise ship to open the season changed its schedule and was docked in Souda.

Scientists remain in Santorini, where they also placed two new submarine seismographs, while lifting two. At the same time, schools remain closed.

According to a study by the EKPA, from January 26th to February 8, they have been held in the Santorini-Amorgos zone in total than 12,800 earthquakes.

This morning, there have been several vibrations over 4 on the Richter scale. The strongest earthquake today was recorded shortly after noon, was 4.9 on the Richter scale and was felt even in areas of Attica.

Meanwhile, a research mission will be carried out in the coming days by the “Aegean” oceanographic vessel of the Hellenic Center for Marine Research between Santorini and Amorgos.

The boat, which will depart on Wednesday, with a large research team and modern scientific equipment, will collect additional data for a more complete understanding of seismic activity in the area. These positions should be prioritized further, after the seismic sequence is completed, and receive effective structural measures, appropriately adapted to the volcanic landscape and the unparalleled natural beauty of the island.
