Over 12 800 earthquakes hit Santorini-Amorgos zone in 10 days, Red Cross mobilizes to aid residents, Greece
Over 12 800 earthquakes were recorded in the Santorini-Amorgos zone between February 1 and 10, 2025, with the strongest, an M5.3 event, registered at 22:16 LT (20:16 UTC) on February 10.
The Seismology Laboratory at EKPA has been closely monitoring the seismic sequence, noting that 102 earthquakes occurred on February 9 alone. Among them, 14 had magnitudes above 4.0, and two exceeded M4.5. The strongest earthquake recorded during the period was M5.0, occurring at 21:05 LT (19:05 UTC).
Greek seismologist Akis Tselentis added that the current seismic sequence could persist for months, drawing comparisons to the
M6.0 Arkalochori earthquake in Crete which was preceded by four months of seismic buildup.
The increased seismic activity has triggered numerous landslides across Santorini affecting the natural and built environments. Geologists from EKPA’s Department of Geology and Geoenvironment have documented landslides within and beyond the caldera slopes, with impacts observed in the southern coastal areas, central-eastern caldera slopes, and northern regions of the island.

SSGEOS forecast updated February 12, 2025, 07:11 UTC
Due to a convergence of critical planetary geometry there is the potential of stronger seismic activity, possibly some temporal clustering in the higher 5 magnitude range in the next few days.
Convergence of critical planetary geometry involving Mercury and Venus on 12 and around 18 February can result in very strong to major seismic activity.
Given the presence of Mercury and Venus in various planetary geometries between now and February 23, a seismic response of M7+ and in the worst case M8 could occur, especially after February 23 when the lunar conjunction with Jupiter occurs.
