After a couple of weeks of nothing to report a surprise earthquake of 3.8 magnitude has been felt in parts of El Hierro.

,,Earthquake of 3.8 degrees in the west of the iron which has been felt in almost the whole Island,

At 22:35:56 P. M. Wednesday 3 September, the Institute of Geographical National ( IGN ) localizó a movement sísmico 3.8 degrees ( mblg ) to the west of the island of iron and hypocenter a 15,6 km depth ( margin of error of 4 km ).

According to information on the followers of the Facebook page of today volcanic of The Canary Islands ( avcan ) in the event was felt in different parts of the island.

Earlier at 19:53:36 P. M. Already IGN had been an event of 2.4 degrees ( mblg ) in the same area, and at a depth Approximate 33,4 km.

It has been noted by Avcan that the 3.8 was felt in :

De momento me comentan que sentido en El Pinar, La Frontera, El Mocanal y la parte Oeste de La Palma  (east of La Palma aswell).

Residents of these areas have confirmed on the Avcan facebook page that they felt the earthquake.

,,Starting September to 10 seísmos in the canary islands, one of them in the iron sense for the population

Two seísmos in the area of activity in Tenerife and Gran Canaria ; one in the north - west of fasnia in Tenerife ; and 7 in the building island of the island of the iron are the events up until now, recorded in the nearly four first days of the month of September.

In principle, all seems in the same tonic of recent months, in which we have already pointed out an increase of seismic activity of a low scale on the inside of the island of TENERIFE. However, if we pay more attention to the last sismos registered on the island of iron, you will see that in the second week of August, there were some of the events in greater depth, as well yesterday was registraba an event for more 30 kilometers deep, and the earthquake of 3.8 degrees ( mblg ) yesterday to the 22:35:56 is the event of major magnitude and intensity of the registered in the iron in what is going this year. I would not be more, therefore, to pay special attention within the next few weeks to simicidad on the island of the iron for if this was the prelude to a new repunte of activity.,,

,,Follow - up of the activity of the earthquake - Volcanic in iron and surrounding area. The last 10 sismos in iron, we must stress that 3.8 we had antesdeayer west of the island and the 2.4 who were before, a pretty deep in the area, that shows us efforts Regional in the area, and that way. It will be the year 3.8 and 2.4 of the desencadenantes of another period activity seismic?, It is true that today has been another 1.9 in the area.

Remember that for these dates are more or less 9 months of the last repunte of activity in December 2013 January 2014, we will see us deparan The next few weeks in terms of activity sismovolcánica is concerned, and, furthermore, is the Equinox Autumn, that always holds some repunte sísimico since the eruption of octure 2011.

Have just returned from holiday the latest report courtesy of Avcan. Translated.

:2 small swarms quake - Volcanic in the center of the island last night - follow - up of the activity of the earthquake - Volcanic on the island of iron and surrounding area - 07/10/2014 - 14, 45, H - The Canary Islands. Tonight, a couple of hours after midnight and we have had a couple of swarms sísmicos in the Central part of the island.

The first one has been a swarm focused on the 02, 21 H with a total of 2 sismos localized by the IGN in the center of the island with the values of 1.9, and In 1.1, and at a depth between 11.1 and 11.8 kilometers deep respectively, but in the spectrogram from the station CMCL that happened to me, we clearly shows that it is a swarm with more than a dozen sismos.

A little bit later, to that of the three and a half, another one of the magnitude of 1.2 to 13.2 kilometers deep in the same area, Central in the Bay and a few minutes later, the strongest of the 7 who are going for a moment today, a 2.3 to 16.3 kilometers deep in the sea to the west of the island of iron.

And to rematar, past the 5 tomorrow, we have had a series of sismos which form a second swarm sísmico, where are you appreciate clearly 4 sismos main and several more under the age of those that have been located 3 sismos By the IGN with the values of 1.1, 1.0 and 1.0., at a depth of 11.5, 15.9 and 15.7 miles, under the Central part of the island.

Yesterday, already comentábamos that chart of the addition of renewable energies sísmicas released from the sismos in ergios that are happening in this area of iron, without counting the elderly of 2.9., continues to rise the Steepest slope every day that passes, confirming the outcome of it That we said yesterday, the rate of liberalisation of energy is increasing with time, in recent days, pointing out a clear process of revival in the phenomenon quake Lava which has been suffering from the island from 2011.

..SMALL EARTHQUAKE SWARM ACTIVITY IN THE AREA BETWEEN Tenerife and Gran Canaria

Shortly after 21:10 UTC tonight has begun to register a small swarm between the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. We are collecting information about although the National Geographic Institute (IGN) has already begun to locate the first events. Currently we have five earthquakes of between 2.3 and 2.9 magnitude (mb) and hypocenter at a depth of between 41 and 45 kilometres..

Now available on the website of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) first official seismic swarm recorded last night between the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria reference. The text is as follows:

- 12.01.2015. Small swarm between Tenerife and Gran Canaria. (01/13/15)

Between 21:00 and 22:30 the day January 12 there was a small earthquake swarm located between the islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife. IGN has located far 12 earthquakes clustered at a depth between 30 and 40 km with magnitudes between 1.8 and 2.4. The swarm was located about 20-25 km east of the coast of Arico and 30-35 km west of the coast of La Aldea de San Nicolás, in the area known as Volcano Enmedio.

Enrique from Avcan has commented that the above 2 earthquakes although not a swarm are  rare.

Translated.

..These two earthquakes are rare ... not like a swarm, but it seems otherwise, it seems like a stress rupture, which seems to be confirmed by the noise, this earthquake has caused a lot of noise which makes many islanders have heard. Remember to fill out the questionnaire IGN as sense, is very important (Enrique)..

Missed it by a week! We spent last weekend on El Hierro and the only rumble was my tummy when we were coming in to land. Didn't bump into Jand either!
Beautiful island although we saw only a tiny part of it, well worth a visit.

Avcan have commented about the latest earthquakes.

Translated.

..Seismicity DEEP THESE LAST DAYS IN THE IRON, THE CANARY ISLANDS. - In the last few days are happening in the area west of the Canary Island of iron several deep earthquakes more than 20 km. Of the 21 earthquakes that have been localized by the IGN this month of April, 10 of them are faster than 20km and 9 of them have taken place these last 4 days. This is a surprise since the activity these last few months was in the central area of the island some 9-12km and in front of Cala Tacoron early in the month.


Called the attention that these earthquakes are arranged circularly as surrounding something, which could indicate a small intrusion at depth beneath the island, so it's going to be outstanding from the variation of the GPS these next few days. (Enrique)..

Avcan have reported that there have been recent earthquakes beneath Teide.

I have translated the whole article as it is interesting to read .

Courtesy of Enrique from Avcan

REVISED EARTHQUAKES AND SEISMIC MAGNITUDE OF LOW LOCATED ON THE BASIS OF TEIDE ... I was updating some maps, watching the earthquakes that put the IGN yesterday and the day before yesterday and had not put in his time and today have left no depth revised the south of the island;

1335506 24/06/2015 13:23:14 27.9816 -16.5530 1.5 -.- km SE SAN MIGUEL.ITF
1335505 23/06/2015 13:56:03 28.0173 -16.5512 -.- 1.6 km SE SAN MIGUEL.ITF

http://www.avcan.org/index.php?m=Mapas&a=mapa&mf=5646
And suddenly it happened this map and that caught my attention, I suddenly realized that speaks for itself with 4 earthquakes located at the base of Teide, only 2 have depth about 2.9 and 2.1 km, but the rest do not, look dates, all recent of the past six months, two recent ...
The fact is that these earthquakes at the base of Teide made me think and made me do an exercise with the seismicity in Tenerife in the portal AVCAN, leaving interesting things I already knew and things that are not so.

Map Tenerife:
http://www.avcan.org/?m=Mapas&a=mapa&mf=7474
Map Canadas:

http://www.avcan.org/?m=Mapas&a=mapa&mf=7467

The first thing is that the most recent seismicity of this year in the area of ​​this valley is aligned in two directions, an almost EW and another in WNW-ESE crossing just below the volcano Arafo. This had not seen until today.
Then simicidad 2014 with two groups seen earthquakes, the first boiler with Diego Hernandez and the other in the area of ​​Arico, both aligned in NNW-SSE that was not repaired and it is the same that it occurred when we had the crisis in 2004 overall, although other alignments crisis appeared as a clear ENE-WSW at 2004 NW Old Pico and other N SW of old peak in 2005.
As a conclusion to all these alignments until 2014 or so they will surrounding what is the perimeter of the boiler Canadas, indicating the area where first efforts are noticed which is already broken by previous seismic crisis and eruptions and of course for where you can first progress magma or water if there is fluid as it is the easiest way.
But Arafo and this sismicdad-microseismic at the base of Teide almost thinking it may be the conduit through which rising gas volcano is something else, I think we are on the threshold of something that starts to be different to what we had in previous years. Will have to see how it evolves and monitor the phenomenon to see if it is something to monitor stays or just an anecdote. In the GPS, little is at the moment have to continue watching.
The truth is that all information is limited and they miss those of earthquakes Catalog "B" results IGN and gas fumaroles Teide, both could make a better diagnosis of what might come or no. (Enrique)
