Ruins of a settlement lie on the rocky promontory of Skaros on the Greek island of Santorini, on June 15, 2022. Mild recent seismic activity seems to have activated the volcano for the second time in recent memory and the first since 2011.
Given the volcano’s catastrophic explosion around 1600 BC, inhabitants are on edge. But Stavros Meletlidis, an expert on Spain’s Instituto Geografico Nacional, who advised authorities on responding to a volcano eruption in the Canary Islands in 2021, says there is little cause for concern.
