      What is happening off the coast of Turkey? there appears to be an extremely active earthquake swarm off the Marmaris coast just north of Rhodes. Earthquakes here, although not strong, appear to be very intense and have been for the past few days. Is this unusual or has this kind of activity occurred in the past?

        Marmaris area is a very active area – the good part of it is that stress is probably released and does not continue to build up

        I visited the volcanic island of Nisyros a couple of years ago and I was wondering if the current earthquake swarm is purely seismic or is there a volcanic harmonic element within the current readings.
