    If anyone is interested in a 5-7 days excursion to Santorini in February, please get in touch.
    We plan to have a look at Nea Kameni, photograph the island in winter, and of course, look after local sources and information about the current seismicity and the questions related to a possible eruption in a near or medium future. Santorini merits a visit in winter anyway. It will probably be stormy, wet and cold, but perfect to appreciate its raw beauty without tourists.

    Und habt ihr etwas herausgefunden über die derzeitige vulkanische Entwicklung auf Santorini, die Funktion der Seismografen? Erdbeben erlebt? Wie reagiert die Bevölkerung auf die evtl. drohende Gefahr? Bei mir hats leider doch nicht geklappt mit einer Reise dorthin. Vielleicht im Herbst, wenn es bis dahin dort nicht losgeht.

    Gibt es dort Adressen wo man um diese Zeit, außerhalb der Saison, unterkommen kann? Im Resebüro sagte man mir, da gäbs zur Zeit nichts. Wo bekommt man kurzfristig einen erschwinglichen Flug?
    Ich wäre schon sehr interessiert - interessierte Laie allerdings.
    Ich würde es zwar mit Februar versuchen, aber beruflich bedingt könnte ich wohl auch eher erst im März oder April weg. Würde aber auch sehr gern den vulkanischen Fragestellungen nachgehen gemeinsam mit Leuten, die sich damit auskennen.

    Gruß Hella

    Man findet leicht private Unterkünfte und ein paar Hotels in Fira sind auch offen. Einfach rumfragen oder in einem der Reisebüros nachschauen.

    Was just reading through your posts,, Have a very keen interest in volcanic activity as i live in Mount Gambier South Australia, our Volcano has been dormant for the best of 4500yrs,, recently an examination of the waters in the caldera has showed increased acidity levels, this usually only occurs when C02 is released into the water by the dissolving of crustations/shells built up over years of dormant activity. I believe we are kept in the dark regarding this and would appreciate an opportunity to accompany an enthusiast to study some active volcanoes.

    I must admit I have to pass on this question, as I have not looked at your volcano in more detail. I suspect that there are many other possibilities, though, than a reawakening of the volcano, that could lead to an increase of acidity. I also suspect that Australian geologist would be good in informing and keeping an eye on this. Probably no reason to be worried, but perhaps someone else can comment something more substantial.
