The chamber, discovered using advanced technology, could potentially lead to a highly explosive eruption similar to the 1650 eruption of Columbbo. The situation is further complicated by the discovery that Santorini and Columbbo are connected by a shared deep magmatic system, increasing the risk of future volcanic activity in the region.
