Abstract

In 1650 B.C.E. a series of massive volcanic eruptions decimated the ancient seafaring Minoan civilization. Over the next 4 millennia, the largely subaquatic Santorini caldera had a series of smaller eruptions, with five such events within the past 600 years, ending most recently in 1950. From the air the Santorini caldera appears as a small cluster within the larger collection of Greek islands in the southern Aegean Sea. Following a 60‐year lull, Santorini woke up on 9 January 2011 with a swarm of low‐magnitude earthquakes.
