Schools remain shut and evacuation flights are underway after Greek holiday island Santorini was shaken by earthquakes for the fourth day in a row. A spike in seismic activity has been recorded on the volcanic island in the Aegean Sea since Friday,

Repeated earthquakes are rattling Greece’s volcanic island of Santorini. The quakes are prompting authorities to dispatch rescuers with tents, a sniffer dog and drones and to shut down schools on four islands.

Crescent-shaped Santorini is a premier tourism destination with daily arrivals via commercial flights, ferries, and cruise ships. The island draws more than three million visitors annually to its whitewashed villages, built along dramatic cliffs formed by a massive volcanic eruption more than 3,500 years ago.

Schools remained shut and additional flights were scheduled to help people leave the Greek island of Santorini on Monday (February 3) as dozens of tremors shook the popular holiday destination for a fourth day.
