Unusual geological event in Turkey on Thursday, 03 January, 2013 at 12:14 (12:14 PM) UTC.
| Description | |
| A new submarine volcanic eruption might have recently started off Turkey’s west coast in the Marmaris Sea between the mainland and the Greek Island of Simi near Rhodes. Scientists from Istanbul’s Technical University announced that they have found evidence of 2 active vents at about 200 m water depth along a north-south trending fissure of 2.5-3 km length. According to local newspapers, a rise in sea temperature was detected which suggests that lava might be erupting from the vents. According to Prof. Ahmet Ercan, it might take 1-3, or 20 years for the volcano to surface if at all. The area is located at the eastern end of the volcanically active Hellenic Arc and volcanic activity here would not be a huge surprise, in fact. Possibly preceding the eruption, as magma was rising through the crust, the area was affected by a series of seismic swarms during the past months. According to the scientists, a previous submarine eruption already occurred here in 2009. |

Geographically incorrect idk the Marmaras sea has nothing to do with Rhodes ?? its located north of Constantinople and Rhodes is on south Aegean sea still i am not a geologist
lol, thank you Irmedeaca. That is what RSOE Edis tells us. I am not a geologist either
I have posted map locations of The Marmara Sea, the Greek Island Of Symi as well as an isolated map of the Greek Islands that shows the location of Rhodes. Rsoe Edis specifies that it is Symi that is near Rhodes. So your guess is as good as mine
I dont blame you Rose
i just live in Greece so im familiar with the map 
i went to the site as well bcs it triggered my curiosity( if something goes off i will be affected too ) mavbe they mean an underground connection that expands from the marmaras sea to the Rhodes island.
it is possible. Unfortunately they don’t go into much detail ,Sorry
So very true
Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing & penetrates every solid thing.
nowhere to run nowhere to hide huh.. ty for this post
My pleasure and please stay safe
