Hi Everyone. 😊
Summer is definitely in full swing at Santorini, with clear skies and lots of sun the last few weeks. I can only imagine that it would be relatively hot as well.
I haven't seen a lot of volcanic activity lately, though the gas vapour is continuously rising more or less, from the lake and the island.
Something interesting that I have noticed, is that preceding the rising up of magma, as opposed to phreatic (steam and ash) events, the town lights go dim (during the night) and can't be seen by the livestream camera.
The most recent of these was on -
Tue 8 Jul 2025
Though the magma is only just coming up to below the surface, as indicated by 2 glowing lights in the water of the lake at night, one in the middle of the Northern lake section, and, one near the ferry wharf.
The glowing light in the Northern lake section rose up higher and brighter as a ferry passed by, then receded as the ferry moved further away. The ferries here, are large and generating a great deal of electric light energy.
A day of volcanic smoke followed.
I'm watching - Alexis Place Livestream,
for now.
