This collection presents a catalogue of recorded earthquakes associated by epicenter distance with the geography of Mljet National Park. Each entry provides event details including occurrence date, magnitude, depth, and distance from the park boundaries, sourced from geophysical record archives. Explore this historical data to understand the seismic context of the surrounding Adriatic region through a structured and neutral analytical perspective.
Croatia's green island sanctuary of karst lakes and Benedictine heritage
Mljet National Park occupies the western third of the island of Mljet in southern Croatia, protecting an extraordinary landscape of karst terrain, saltwater lakes, and dense Mediterranean forests. Established on November 11, 1960, it represents the first institutionalized attempt to preserve a pristine ecosystem in the Mediterranean region. The park encompasses approximately 5,375 hectares of land and surrounding sea, including the famous Veliko jezero (Great Lake) and Malo jezero (Small Lake)—two unique marine lakes that were once freshwater bodies thousands of years ago. These interconnected lakes, connected to the open sea through narrow channels, create a distinctive geological and oceanographic phenomenon rare in the world's karst landscapes. The park is often called the "Green Island" due to its lush vegetation, which covers over 90% of its surface and represents some of the most well-preserved Mediterranean forest in the Adriatic region.
Search Mljet National Park events by depth and distance
Mljet National Park’s earthquake catalogue relates reported epicentres to its Croatian island boundary through calculated distance, not through karst limestone, forested hills, saltwater lakes, or marine channels. Dates, magnitudes, depths, localities, sources, and park distances permit historical comparison without claiming landscape effects, current danger, or prediction.
This page describes catalogued earthquakes associated with the park by epicentre location and distance. It does not establish causation, assess current danger, or predict future earthquakes.
