Santorinilla tapahtuu: yli 200 maanjäristystä on saanut koulut sulkeutumaan ja turistit varuilleni. Lue lisää tästä kreikkalaisesta kaunottaresta!
Santorini, tuo Kreikan kaunis ja suosittu turistikohde, on tällä hetkellä säänneltyjen liikkeitten keskellä. Viime viikkojen aikana saarella on koettu yli 200 maanjäristystä, joista suurin oli jopa 4.6 Richterin asteikolla. Ateenan geodynaaminen instituutti on antanut varoituksia ja neuvonut asukkaita sekä vierailijoita välttämään kokoontumista suljetuissa tiloissa. Tämä merenneito saattaa olla ihanteellinen selfie-paikka, mutta nyt varovaisuus on tärkeämpää kuin täydellisen Instagram-kuvan nappaaminen!
Viranomaiset ovat sulkeneet koulut ja kehoittaneet ihmisiä pysymään poissa rannikoilta, ja tämä ei todellakaan ole vain keskikesän vitsaus! Santorini on tunnettu sen upeista auringonlaskuista ja valkoisista rakennuksista, mutta nyt saarelle on kehittynyt pieni maanjäristyskomedia, joka muistuttaa meitä siitä, kuinka pieni tämä kaunis planeettamme on. Tuntuu kuin saari tanssisi vähäisiä tärinöitä omassa rytmissään!
Kreikka on tietysti tottunut maanjäristyksiin, mutta nämä äkilliset ja useat tärinät ovat herättäneet monia pelkotiloja, ja turistit ihmettelevät, onko heidän seuraava matkastaan tulossa vähän tärinää. Santorini on ollut erityisesti valokuvaajaystävällinen baarien ja ravintoloiden ansiosta; mutta tällä hetkellä tilanne on enemmän wary than a party.
Maanjäristykset eivät ole myöskään outo näky saarella, sillä viime kuussa saatiin kuulla lisää sekä sisämaan tulivuorista että maan alla käyvästä aktiivisuudesta. Santorinilla on pitkä historia luonnonpyrkimysten suhteen, mutta tämä kaikessa tapahtuvassa tanssissa on muistutus siitä, että äärimmilleen viedyt kesäunet voivat saada uusia värityksiä. Vaikka maan tärinä saattaakin pelottaa, muistetaan, että Santorini on myös tunnettu synninpäästöistä, hyvistä viineistä ja kävijöiden sydänten valloittamisesta.
Hauska fakta: Santorini on jäänyt lännen elokuvamaailmassa paljon puhuvaksi kohteeksi, eikä vain sen henkeäsalpaavien maisemien vuoksi. Se on ollut taustana monille romanttisille komedioille! Väitetään jopa, että luontoäiti ekstraa Santorinille maanjäristyksien aikana, jotta ikimuistoiset maisemat pysyvät vetovoimaisina ja houkuttelevina. Santorini ei ole ainoastaan saari; se on elämys!
