After a few days of little activity, the earth turns has shake in El Hierro, with around 120 earthquakes of between 1.5 and 3.2 degrees produced since Sunday and until 8 a.m. today from this Monday, that in at least six cases consists that they have been felt by the population, according to the National Geographic Institute (IGN).

The magnitude of those that have been perceived by the inhabitants of the island is 3.2 degrees, with both occurring one to the 12.16 hours and another to the 16.34 hours on Sunday. Also have felt two  of 3.1, the 16.31 yesterday and the 00,16 this Monday. Others, less intensity, took place at the 15.12 hours on Sunday (with magnitude of 2.6) and the 1.53 hours (2.7)).

During this Monday more than 50 tremors, have already posted up to 8 in the morning, and yesterday occurred about 70.

The epicentres are in the emerged part of the island, East of the municipality of El PInar, and at a depth of between 12 and 20 km, in an area where until now not had logged telluric activity from the sismico-volcanica revival that began in July. Throughout this period, the IGN has detected 20.811 earthquakes above 1.5 degrees.,,

Posted on the Avcan Facebook Page regarding the statement by Carmen Lopez  that only 5 earthquakes have been felt over the last two days !!

,,5 sismos solamente sentidos por la población Herreña???... eso no se lo cree ella ni jarta pipas ^_-
... si no han parado de sentirlos desde ayer casi ininterrumpidamente

5 only felt by the population Herreña earthquakes?... that not she believes it is neither jarta pipes ^ _-... If they have not stopped feeling them since yesterday almost uninterruptedly

Response from Fernando from Avcan.

Se puede decir de cualquier otra manera. Únicamente hemos recibido reportes de cinco eventos, únicamente nos valen los reportes de cinco de los eventos... pero negar la evidencia no es el mejor camino. Estas cosas hay que tomarlas con muchísima más normalidad porque provocar el mosqueo del personal no es lo más recomendable. Todos aquí pudieron comprobar ayer la de veces que los herreños informaban de sismos sentidos y luego los corroborábamos con la propia información del IGN. Le sugeriría a Carmen López más visitas por aquí.

Translated

It is in any other way. We have only received reports of five events, only five of the events reports worth us... but denial is not the best way. These things must be made with a lot more normal because cause the fly's staff is not recommended. Everyone here could see yesterday's times that the Islanders were reporting felt earthquakes and then we corroborábamos them with own information from IGN. I would suggest to Carmen López more visitors here.

More comments from some of the islanders on El Hierro.


Y digo yo..."pensando en alto"... (y sin querer ofender a nadie, por supuesto)...me pregunto,... la gente del Hierro estará bajo algún tipo de presión extraña para no reportar TODOS los eventos sentidos?

And I say... "thinking aloud"... (y sin querer ofender a nadie, por supuesto)... I wonder... the people of iron will be under some sort of pressure strange to not report all senses events?

Alejandro Garcia Delgado no Jose Mauricio, lo que esta es hasta las narices de que no les informen y de que reportando los eventos sismicos, no se les haga caso

not Jose Mauricio, what this is and noses that don't inform them of that reporting the seismic events, is to ignore

Inma Guedes Yo sigo pensando que no es presión, que es cansancio. Cansancio de ver que reportan y luego no se ve reflejado lo que ellos sienten.

I still think that it is not pressure, which is tired. Tired of seeing that report and then not reflected what they feel.

acaso, el que no se oiga,no se vea o no se sienta, ¿quiere decir que no existe? ¿acaso los que murieron en el terremoto de Lorca reportaron el terremoto? en fin que sigan de vacaciones los responsables

just in case, which is not heard, is not or does not feel, does mean that you there is? perhaps can those who died in the earthquake in Lorca reported the earthquake? in order that those responsible continue holiday

,,Buenas tardes, ni que hablar de la sismisidad que llevamos desde ayer, solo hacerles un cometario.
Hoy he estado en Valverde y en San Andres, allí la sismisidad, no la note.. casi nula; al volver a Frontera, fue radical el cambio, no solo note la pesadez en los ojos, mareo y el suelo inestable, sino que los ojos, empezaron a picar y escocer como ya en su momento se lo explique a Enrique, pero no fue tan brutal o ya actuó bien y enseguida me lave los ojos con agua embotellada, lo que hizo que disminuyera el escozor, pero no desapareció en totalidad.

Good afternoon, nor that to speak of the sismisidad we have been since yesterday, just make them a coment. Today I've been at Valverde and San Andres, there the sismisidad, do not notice it... almost non-existent; returning to border, was a radical change, not just note the heaviness in the eyes, dizziness and unstable soil, they eyes, began to chop and escocer as already at the time explain it to you to Henry, but it was not so brutal or already acted well and immediately wash me eyes with bottled water, causing it to decrease itching, but not disappeared at all.

,,DIARIOELHIERRO.ES, Editorial Board (23/12/2013 10:56 hours)
The scientific coordinator of the volcanic Canary Islands Institute (Involcan), Nemesio Pérez, confirmed today the journal EL HIERRO El Hierro Island experiences a process that could be considered "normal" within the "magma revival that continues on the island of the Merdiano years".

As regards the rise of seismic activity on the island during the two last two days, Nemesio Pérez told newspaper EL HIERRO the magma recovery process continues on the island, "not only because not only as reflected the recovery of anomalous seismic activity, but because, also, the deformation of the island due to pressure from important magma; "this, together with the registration of some anomalies of gas, indicate that magma reactivation process there can be ended", said.

However, the Coordinator of the Involcan launched a message of peace, since, as he notes, "it is processes that can be considered normal within the magma revival happening in iron years", he told daily EL HIERRO.

The activity in El Hierro follows is currently following the same pattern as in 2011, although you Nemesio Pérez argues that this process began much earlier in El Hierro. They are slow processes, where the magma is still on their way out to the surface.

However, the monitoring of the process is exhaustive by scientists who maintain a permanent control of the situation in El Hierro. ,,

..Deformation in the IGN GPS sensors, is also appreciable, with an "uplifting" of more than 2 cm in HI-08 and HI-09, and somewhat less in the Gulf with 1 cm more or less. The centroid of the deformation coincides with the intrusion of that mark the seismicity, displacing the restinga South and Valverde toward the North and East, while those of the Gulf are somewhat to the North and West.(Enrique)..

..This movement towards the South-East is nothing new, yesterday we put the map of seismic activity greater than 2.5 and mentioned that I usually behave looking for areas that have not broken yet, and so it is doing moving as we put in first choice back southward, and seems to continue that direction if you continue towards la Restinga intrusion..

For anyone who has been following El Hierro please read the newest post by Carl on Volcancafe ..El Hierro signs of coming possible eruption ..

<<As Christmas moves towards Boxing Day it looks more and more as the volcano of Tanganasoga on the island of El Hierro in the Spanish Canary Islands is closing in on a new eruption. Since the last eruption the seismic activity has continued in a subdued fashion, but not in a way that really was pointing towards a new eruption starting. Well, at least up until the last few days.

After the current swarm a few other signs started to show. One was the onset of inflation, and the second was a steady rise in Radon being emitted from the bedrock of the island. Currently the inflation ranges from 30mm to 50mm in the affected areas, with the peak following the same fissure line that leads towards Bob. Also the current level of Radon is now ten times higher than the baseline level at El Hierro, with a current reading at 2250Bq/m3. I will get back to the Radon at the end of this piece.

What differs are the shape of the earthquakes, this time they have a distinct signature that has 3 significant indications. I will here describe the earthquake shown below. It has a magmatic component, and on the drumplot we see that it is a Long Period event so it is pressurizing the system. On top of that it has a very interesting coda, as it progresses the frequency starts to drop dramatically, and that is a sure sign of increased volume, ie that it is opening up a new conduit, sill or dyke. This was a very telltale earthquake that proved that new magma moving into the system.>>

There are very interesting comments also about the increase of Radon Gas on the island aswell.

Buenas tardes. Nosotros hemos sido unos de las 39 personas bloqueadas. Estábamos por la zona de arenas blancas/el verodal. Ha sido horrible, se sintió y duró muchísimo. Cayeron muchísimas rocas de gran tamaño por las laderas y de verdad temimos no salir de allí.
Desde el pozo de la salud la carretera esta bloqueada. No han sido pequeños desprendimientos, sino zonas de la carretera totalmente cortadas por los desprendimientos de rocas de gran tamaño. Tuvimos que dejar los coches y salir a pie hasta el balneario mientras seguía habiendo pequeños terremotos que seguían ocasionando caídas de rocas y grietas en la calzada. Ha sido muy duro.
Llevamos muchos años transitando esta zona y jamás habíamos visto nada así. Mi recomendación es que nadie pase por estas zonas. A partir del balneario todo el terreno es muy inestable y tremendamente peligroso. Tenemos fotos, intentare subirlas entre hoy y mañana.

Good afternoon. We have been one of the 39 people blocked. We were by the White Sands area / the verodal. It has been horrible, felt and lasted a lot. Many large rocks fell down the slopes and really we feared not out of there. Since the road is blocked health well. They were not small detachments, but areas of the road completely cut off by rockslides of large size. We had to stop the car and get out walk up to the Spa while remained small earthquakes that were still causing falls of rocks and cracks in the road. It has been very hard. We have been transiting this area for many years and we had never seen anything so. My recommendation is that no one passes through these areas. From the Spa all terrain is very unstable and extremely dangerous. We have photos, I will try to upload them between today and tomorrow.

..Register a small seism of 1.3 degrees to the NE of El Pinar, the iron A 17:53:13 21 hours the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) located a small seism of 1.3 degrees (mbLg) ne of El Pinar (Höfuðskáld. 27.7127 / Logit. - 17.9616) and with hypocenter at a depth of 15.6 Km (margin of error of 5 Km).

Event information: http://www.avcan.org/index.php?m=Catalogo&a=detalle&ev=1252219 why give importance to this small Quake as to put it as news of post is to be the first that is located in the area of the swarm of these last days, after the earthquake of 5.1 recorded yesterday in the sea west of the island of El Hierro.

The swarm that began the last day 22 began in the sea, to the North of the Gulf Coast, and progressed very rapidly crossing the island towards the Southeast where stabilized until yesterday causing enough seismicity. This earthquake today is located in the sliding of the beaches area and the latter which had located that swarm had registered yesterday at 15:25:34 25, a little more to the South, at a depth of 14.6 km (error margin of 9.3 Km) and of magnitude 0.9 mbLg.

After the reviewed earthquake it has become to locate another in the sea and to the southwest of the island.

006. The aftermath of the earthquake of 5.1 along with iron - follow-up of the today VOLCANIC and seismic in the island of EL HIERRO - map updated - 28/12/2013 - 22:00 h. Canary Islands. The truth is that the USGS gives it a 5.4 and the EMSC gives a 5.3, I believe it has been somewhat more fat than it seems... we will almost double, the test have been landslides on the island of El Hierro and how you have felt. Without previous seismicity, without warnings, broke and point... incredible.

The truth is that the photos and videos of landslides are amazing, but it seems to me that they will not be the last, the system continues entering magma indicates deformation around 8 - 9cm already at some stations and this earthquake is the result of an intense pressurization at lower levels that were already stabilized after the latest swarm of March 2013indicating that surely still more to come.

To make numbers, taking an average of 3 Warp - 4 cm on the island, with 300 square kilometers of surface deformation, we are talking about an intrusion of 90 - 120 km 3 of magma under the same, thats a donkey, which added more than 15 cm that we had... because it makes a gordisimo number.

,,Madrid, 30 December 2013-the population of the island of El Hierro has to get used to living with earthquakes already that the seismic activity falls within the normal of a young volcanic oceanic island evolution. He has thus ensured it José Luis Barrera, volcanologist and Vice-President of the illustrious College of Geologists (ICOG).

" Since the island began to emerge, the crisis has not stopped ever and you cannot predict when it will stop", estimated the volcanologist. "If we look at the geology of the island we observed that there are many recent volcanic cones whose training had to be accompanied by tremors constantly", indicates barrier. "In the area underwater, the number of recent volcanoes is also very high," added. In addition, "El Hierro, together with the Palm, is the younger of the Canaries, islands so the seismicity is going to continue producing", explains

Thus, for the Vice-President of the ICOG, it is essential that the authorities take "measures adequate as a prevention plan, especially in the management of the territory, and in constructive measures to minimize possible damage".

With regard to the intensity and magnitude of earthquakes, barrier acknowledges that there's "no way to anticipate" since there is a pattern of seismic performance or a historical archive of seismicity had island. "Magma is rising and will continue breaking the bark of El Hierro, until you find a way out in the form of subaerial and submarine volcanic eruption of", concludes..
