Santorini rystet af jordskælv – turister flygter fra den smukke ø!

Jordskælv skaber kaos på Santorini – find ud af hvorfor turisterne strømmer væk, og hvad der mon venter under overfladen!

Santorini, den smukke græske ø kendt for sine hvide bygninger og storslåede solnedgange, er blevet rystet af en serie kraftige jordskælv. Siden søndag har over 200 skælv ramt øen, hvilket har fået tusindvis af både lokale og turister til at flygte til sikkerhed. Det er ikke hver dag, man skal evakuere fra en ferie, men når jorden begynder at ryste, er det bedre at være på den sikre side. Nogle modige sjæle har dog valgt at blive tilbage, og de fortæller om en underligt stille stemning midt i naturens optrin.

De første rapporter om jordskælvene begyndte at komme ind i weekenden, dog lige før den travle turistperiode. Stærkeste skælv havde en styrke på 5,3 og blev efterfulgt af hundredvis af efterbevægelser. Forskerne har underbygget, at disse tremorer ikke ser ud til at være relateret til øens vulkanske aktivitet, hvilket giver et lille håb til dem, der overvejer at returnere. Alligevel skaber det en del betænkeligheder blandt de besøgende, der ikke ønsker at risikere liv og lemmer.

I takt med at flere både og fly blev sendt fra øen, kunne man se billeder af folk, der stædigt forsøgte at forlade det idylliske paradis. Mange, der tidligere havde drømt om romantiske aftener og solnedgange, måtte nu forlade deres drømme og oplevelser og i stedet tage turen mod det kontinentale Grækenland. Skoler på øen er også blevet lukket som følge af jordskælvene, og selv om det i øjeblikket virker kaotisk, er det selvfølgelig sikkerheden, der er i fokus.

Sammenkoblingen mellem skønhed og skræmmende naturfænomener i Santorini giver en bemærkelsesværdig påmindelse om, hvor små vi kan føle os over for moder natur. Jeres næste ferie på Santorini? Sørg for at tjekke jordskævtjenesterne inden afgang, eller måske overvej en turistvenlig vulkanudflugt, som viser, hvordan øens unikke geologi bidrager til dens berømmelse! Og glem ikke, at Selvom Santorini er under pres fra undergrunden, så har øen stadig mere end 1.000 betydningsfulde år med historie at tilbyde!
