,, ACTIVITY MONITORING EARTHQUAKE-VOLCANIC ON IRON ISLAND. MAP UPDATED OF THE EARTHQUAKES OF THE MONTH OF MAY. Broadly seems all calmer, but we continue with a remarkable Seismicity in the area of the latest intrusion, which indicates that it is still there, enfriandose slowly, but at the end and at the end there and more or less remains pressurized since deformation does not descend, with small fluctuations. System is still active, we will have to wait a couple of years of calm at least to say that all is calm, and prior to this period have more intrusion of magma, the period is will continue lengthening, and there will be increasingly more magma coming eruption when this magma found a weakness in the crust that allows you to go outsideat that time would get the rash. Until then, touch wait, watch, be alert and no, enjoy this wonderful island and its pleasures knowing more than 1000 cones volcanic that dot its surface and seeing what has been able to in the past. Repeat, repeat safe, when?, that is more difficult to learn, but the geology and volcanology of the island tells us all these things,,

Still fairly quiet nothing much to report found this article will need to be translated but the photos are spectacular of the area surrounding Tanganasoga..

After a long period of nothing to report there has been a 3.2 mg earthquake this morning which has been felt on the island.

These are comments from some of the islanders :

,,PATTERNS IN THE IRON MAGMATIC INTRUSIONS. THE NEXT WILL BE COINCIDING WITH THE 2013 SUMMER SOLSTICE?. DATA as well as indicate (Enrique). After intense reflection and analysis of data before a question that made me private, I want to share... is very interesting, speaks of the possibility of that this summer (by San Juan) Solstice Seismicity in the iron is likely to wake and return to greater energy release than last time and again with much seismicYou may even see as it erupts if the quake's shot is given and breaks the seal. Let's the facts: in the earthquake and volcanic activity of iron seems to be several cyclic behaviors, and the saying implies that there is no two without three. Since this started at the beginning of a month of July 2011 (just past the summer solstice), with the first swarm or intrusion detected on July 21, 2011 (GPS deformation data began on July 7-8, 2011) and was slowly moving under the island to cross to the other side and taking a significant rebound (new intrusion) into the autumnal Equinox (September 20, 2011) that took him to erupt in October 2011. November is the only thing not block well in all of this, but after a small activity in February 2012, then he returned to reactivate wanting with a seismic crisis that was christened "the Sanjuanera" in 2012, again at the summer solstice. In in the autumnal Equinox came back to pick up again with another small intrusion, and other more on the Solstice of winter in December and another more (the last most strong) in the spring, the true Equinox the following touching is this summer solstice, June 24 with a couple of weeks up or down. So the two years previous there was intrusion in the summer solstice, first pattern, and it is said that there is no two without three. Since June of last year have had 4 intrusions every 3 months, which would be the second pattern,... or 4 without 5 there... two series that match. If you also add eruptive history of the Canary Islands, is beautiful, as in the Palm a volcano already erupted on this date, it is known as the San Juan, makes little... in 1949. If they watch the graph of earthquakes by depths and decide for yourselves, earthquakes have been very active since the last swarm, i.e. follows the seismic anomaly deformation has not receded and the system still pressurized, indicating that this is not over, gases remain at high values, in some cases marking anomaly, and we are going are not normal", so I can say one thing, every day that passes, since June of last year that there below is more large, more powerful and more active". ,,

MAP UPDATED WITH EARTHQUAKES IN JUNE 2013 IRON. There is some activity, but is very dispersed half West of the island and the sea, indicating that pressure stresses are dispelling of what is below. Note that although these last days seems that it dissipates more tensions or more by the IGN, 12 day 05 earthquakes, some of them are more shallow, don't do more than remind us of all the magma that has gotten or intruido in the lower levels of the island in the months before is still there. Deformation is maintained in GPS network of the IGN and INVOLCAN - NAGOYA - GRAFCAN network, with small variations and gases tend to fall, specifically CO2 measured by INVOLCAN following high since they have not yet reached their normal average of 345 ton/day.

Meteorologia Lanzarote have posted this on the Avcan Facebook page.

De momento quedan así: 3.7º, 2.3º (W Fuerteventura/SE Lanzarote) y 2.2º (W Lanzarote). los 3 a 20 km de profundidad.

At the moment are thus: 3.7 °, 2.3 ° (W Fuerteventura / is Lanzarote) and 2.2 ° (W Lanzarote). the 3 to 20 km deep

<<Redaccionun earthquake of 3.7 on the Richter scale has been registered this morning in waters close to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. The epicenter is located between Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, and the African continent, precisely in the bounded area so that the multinational Repsol will soon start the tasting in search of oil and gas.

The earthquake felt in Lanzarote and according to the National Geographic Institute the earthquake, which had two subsequent aftershocks of lesser intensity (2.4 and 2.0), occurred some 20 kilometers deep, at a point located at a latitude approximately 28,52 degrees and a length approaching 13,19 degrees >>

For those that may understand Spanish this is an interview with the director of the house of volcanoes in Lanzarote regarding the earthquake earlier today.

2.2 Earthquake between GRAN CANARIA and
FUERTEVENTURA, and curiously is almost aligned with those who had the other day to the is of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura E, and perfectly aligned with the volcano of middle and the island of el Hierro, all on the same axis, indicating that the archipelago is undergoing regional efforts these days.

MAP OF EARTHQUAKES IN THE UPDATED IRON. Today the IGN at the moment only has located three earthquakes, two earthquakes around 27 km of depth n of Sabinosa (one in the coast area almost) and another more shallow more eastward about 12 km of depth above los Llanillos in the Gulf Escarpment. As I say, there has been some quakes more as seen in the seismogram of CHIE that IGN has not located (Enrique).

And there are at least 6 earthquakes clear today, which could have been located, and that so far have been left by the wayside, hopefully to see if they are any of the latter, will probably begin to give more earthquakes in the area of the Gulf or the Centre of the island, that would be telling us that the pressure begins to rise, and then Yes we would expect an early intrusion We will see that it happens, but what is clear is that from that earthquake 38 km. depth, everything begins to change

Curve released seismic energy accumulated since early in the month however clearly marked a relaxation until there has been a change of trend on 16-17 June, already don't follow that line that continued to produce increasingly tended more towards the horizontal, seems that it is not something sporadic and has slightly increased the rate of energy releaseas well as have been made continuously, indicating at the moment we have a slight increase in activity, without greater consequences with some earthquakes rather than early in the month.

..SMALL SWARM SEISMIC Y 26/06/2013 IN THE AREA OF THE GULF IN THE ISLAND OF IRON. on 18:08 UTC there were several movements of low magnitude very straight but very evident in the seismogram of CHIE of the IGN. Only two earthquakes were located yesterday, although there were many more:

the remarkable iron in addition to the swarm of yesterday, are some seismic events at 16:31 and above all 16:50 h and then as weak swarms until we reached the swarm of past 6 pm and that there was then shortly before 20:00 h. Do and know that?, I begin to get testimony from many who again start to feel vibrations, rumbling and shaking in towns like Ereses, El Mocanal, San Andrés, Sabinosa, La table, Los LLanillos, Tigaday, and the Mocanes. Of odors and gases from a week ago or a little more. Let us hope that today in the afternoon not to repeat, if you do start to confirm what many fear us, returns the ball and not precisely because of the feast of the descent... we see that it is, hopefully non- and we have the feast in peace (Enrique)

.. MAP of earthquakes in iron updated - 29/06/2013 - 8:45 h – today the IGN for the moment not has located no earthquake, but yesterday we had five earthquakes in iron and its surroundings, one of 0.7 in land in the area of Cala Tacorón 12 km and the other fours between 1 and 1.5 in magnitude in the sea to the West of the island between 11.7 and 13.7 km deep. There has also been some quakes more as seen in the seismogram of CHIE that IGN has not located (Enrique). .
