Nothing directly to do with El Hierro but volcano related!!

This is Danyssel, some reports of people who live in iron tell us that Ramon Margalef is there, possibly making a detail batimetria to locate things that can change as minimum, analyzing the water column, taking some underwater video and studying the possible outputs of gases in the area, according to the party from October 26...(Henry)

There has been this morning already a 3.7 earthquake which was felt on the island at 0315 followed by a 3.1 earthquake at 0403.

The harmonic tremors are really getting stronger and peaking.

Luis manuel, simply seems the external part of the seismic swarm of almost perfect circular shape on the map today (green), recalls that the sísmos usually occur at the perimeter of the zone of accumulation of magma, not in the area of magma itself, because in this area rock this great temperature and is more ductile.Although it may also be due to chance of placement of fractures. Do not think it is a crater and less at these depths, if they were still less than 3 km, but not at these depths.(Henry)

ORIGIN OF THE CANARIAN ARCHIPELAGO: THE HOTSPOT THEORY
For some authors, the genesis of the Canary Islands would be related to the existence of a magmatic source fixed in the mantle on which radiate the lithosphere in direction West.
This would explain the apparent progression of ages of the islands of the archipelago to the West. (Figure according to spider and Carracedo, 1978)

pepinacillo at 03: 11 and again mudslides of rocks on the cliff of Tibataje at the height of the foot El Risco hamlet. Phew (Translated by Bing)

buenos días, el 3.7 de las 3:15 nos despertó, y estuvimos oyendo caer las piedras en el Risco, la caída de piedras duró mucho, casi un minuto, y una de las piedras cayó sobre algo metálico CLONG!...

good morning, 3: 15 3.7 woke us up, we were listening to falling rocks on the cliff, falling stones, lasted nearly a minute, and one of the stones fell on something metal CLONG!... (Translated by Bing

Buenos dias..ya veo que la noche movidita,... espero que esos derrumbes no afecte a nadie,... seguiremos pendiente de lo que ocurra hoy,... cuidaos mucho, besitos bego

The INVOLCAN continues registering an increase of the diffuse emission of CO2 by the island volcanic system of El Hierro
The diffuse emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) currently exceeds the normal considered values to the volcanic edifice island of El Hierro

Since last July Scientific Institute of technology and for renewable energies (ITER), body dependent on the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, and now forming part of the Institute Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN) have been more 8,100 measures of diffuse flux of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the island of El Hierro through numerous scientific campaigns on diffuse emissions of volcanic gases that have materialized in the entire insular surface of the island of the Meridian. To date, the results reflect the registration of an upward trend of the diffuse emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere by the island volcanic edifice of El Hierro, who has reached the 1,665 ± 63 tonnes per day; a value equivalent to 4.83 times the normal average value for the diffuse emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the island of El Hierro (345 tons per day).

The purpose of these scientific campaigns is to evaluate variations spatio-temporal of the diffuse emission of carbon dioxide (CO2 into the atmosphere) by El Hierro Island volcanic system in the context of the recent earthquake and volcanic crisis in the island of the Meridian. On the other hand, the reasons of this kind of scientific campaigns are born of inability to obtain such information through permanent instrumental networks, be absolutely convinced that the gases are the driving force of the volcanic eruptions and the importance of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the volcanic monitoring programmes given that it is the second major component of volcanic gasesAfter water vapor, and by its low solubility in molten silicitados - magma - making that the carbon dioxide (CO2) from escaping with ease of volcanic systems in depth.

These scientific campaigns have been able to realize the project MAKAVOL "Strengthening of the capabilities of I+D+i+d to contribute to reducing volcanic risk in the Macaronesia (MAC/3/C161)" is being co-funded by the programme for transnational cooperation of the European Union Madeira-Canarias - Azores (MAC 2007-2013) and the collaboration of Cabildos island of Tenerife and El Hierro.

INVOLCAN is an institution demanded unanimously by the Senate (2005), Parliament of the Canary Islands (2006) and Congress (2009) with the aim of contributing to the improvement and optimization of the management of the volcanic risk in Spain.

Very active near the harbour wall at the moment. Lots of rocks being thrown. Massive tremor continues. Webcam http://earthquake-report.com/2011/11/12/32535/





   ...................

The whole bay has giant rocks erupting now....worth a look. You can see the steam coming off the rocks. It must be getting nearer to the surface.

[tamara_k]

fifi - it might well be active, but honestly I don't think you can distinguish between white rocks and white foam at that resolution.  Were there any info about jumping rocks from people who are there and can see better? That webcam gives a picture wide open to interpretation, what with low-res and optics between the real pic and us

Yesterday's columns of steam, for instance, could well be dirt on the lens in counter-light reflected a few times from inner surfaces of the glass.

Plus, right now there's a semi-permanent fixture in the distance - looks like an observation boat, I doubt it would be there if rocks were really jumping

[fifi]

You can see the rocks jumping Tamara at times. You can also see them in the water. They moved the camera around several times this morning with close up shots to give a better idea of what was happening too.

I had a quick look to see what Raymond Matabosch said today.

From 9 h 40,  it appears that volcanic materials are ejected, forming arcs, above water at low altitude

Since yesterday, the graph of the harmonic tremor is saturated

Raymond said that the boat was actually miles away from the eruptive area this morning. It didnt look that way on the webcam.

[tamara_k]

what I see is white spots in the water. I am not saying they are not stones, fifi. I am saying I can't tell what they are. There's also a largish grey object quite close to the pier - upper left corner of erupution area right now which looks like a boat (yes, at that resolution).

Perhaps this is the line of the of the swarm of earthquakes.

As you can see it literally splits the island in half.

Fifi or anyone is the volcano Tasaganova (sorry if spelt it wrong) slap bang in the middle of this range as I am sure it was said the magma could be feeding the old channels of this old volcano and if that blows this could be very dangerous for a landslide.

[tamara_k]

Sorry, fifi, I don't want to read all the pre-history - is Raymond Matabosch on the island, observing the sea? If so, yes, his opinion weights heavily.

But not that picture On that camera you can only see really large things - houses, pier, jacuzzi when it was working.

UPD - And that boat, which clearly is a boat, it moved and showed the side -  is not miles away, unless it is a cruise liner. Rules of perspective don't change with volcanic eruption

Its hard to capture the stones being ejected with the snipping tool im using. They had close up shots of the boat this morning and you could see them quite clearly. You can see some of the rocks in these pics.

Please will you add this photo .

Thanks.

It keeps stopping at 94 percent download jand. Maybe its too big for Photobucket to upload?

If those photos I put on are too big and effecting anyones screens let me know and I will take them off.

Sorry Tamara , didnt see your post until now. Yes Raymond Matabosch is a volcano follower who has mapped the area in the past and who has  40 years experience and is on the Island. There were several different camera views this morning on the second webcam, some were close ups, including close ups of the boat.  It certainly didnt look like it was a few miles further away from the furthest eruption point which is about two miles away. It is possible that he is referring to the other eruptive area which can not be seen by the webcam.

I think we must be about due to go on to page 6.
We can then see when/if anyone posts anything that stretches the page. []

Fifi, your last picture is 1024 pixels wide. Quite big to up and download on a Forum. I use a Free picture editor called IRFANVIEW to resize my pics, usually down to 600 pix. Save, then upload to Imageshack.

So is J Vincent... CO2 mana by many areas of the island, is the measure of diffuse CO2. This gas and other gases pass through the volcanic edifice upwards usually out areas of the dorsal and singular points (fumaroles.) The phenomenon cause is the soil acidifique and make it difficult to cultivate in the because dies everything what is planted in them, until the trees, first put them yellow leaves and leave as whitish spots on the leaves and is then dried. By the way since this noon we have entered the fifth window...(Henry)

The Volcan Tanganasoga this in the Valley of the Gulf, above the Summit dominated the entire Valley. The Tanganasoga is like the iron Teide, if you want to see where this, follow this link. (Translated by Bing)

This is the name of the Volcano regarding my previous post quoted above.

Someone Spanish must have asked the same question as it has been answered on Avcan on the above video of Tanganasoga.

I think but may be wrong that it does show this Volcano is slap bang in the middle of the line North to South shown on the photo Fifi could not upload because the photo was too big.

Does anyone else think the same ?

Avcan Comment Re Earthquake 5.00 Maderia.

An earthquake of 5 and although it is not about, can it causes some effect, to the more causing the same that if missed more firewood to the fire, a small revival of both systems in the North and South, of which only can be expected since the tremor is quite high.(Henry).
