Magna Chamber Inflation at Santorini?
March 15, 2012 | Georgia Tech

“After decades of little activity, a series of earthquakes and deformation began within the Santorini caldera in January of 2011. Since then, our instruments on the northern part of the island have moved laterally between five and nine centimeters. The volcano’s magma chamber is filling, and we are keeping a close eye on its activity.” Quoted from a Georgia Tech press release.
