IGN have issued this statement Blanco (IGN) on the earthquakes in the South: “The volcanic system has its escape valve, it does not need another outlet”

The National Geographic Institute (IGN) insists that the seismicity that continues to be detected under the Cumbre Vieja Ridge further south of the erupting volcano is linked to the current episode. María José Blanco clarified before the doubts generated by these earthquakes concentrated in a swarm since last night that “the volcanic system that has an open escape valve (the eruption), does not have the need to look for a new way up to the earth.

Latest update courtesy of Enrique.

-29/09/2021 Canary Islands.- LA PALMA ISLAND ERUPTION.- DEFORMATION CONFIRMS SECOND MAGM INTRUSION UNDER ISLAND. - We had the deep seismicity that told us that more magma is on the way to the surface, but was unsure 100 % as data is missing, today that GPS data has emerged, it is seen as the deformation affects all the south of the island, both vertical and horizontal. As soon as the radar interferometry comes out, we'll see what it really is.

The data specifically indicates a slight elevation of 2-4 cm (remember that it is still very deep) and a horizontal deformation that exceeds 4-6 cm in several stations corroborating that a new balloon of magma under the island swells up and their immediate consequence are the earthquakes that are these last few days., the last one is a 3.1

es2021tdsgb 28.5592 30/09/2021 08:23:57-17.8444 13 km M 3.1 mbLg N PALM FUENCALIENT. ILP

So the eruption continues and we have the lava pouring into the sea by the lavic canal that comes out through the lower mouth of the pyroclast cone and, - let it endure so for God, which in this way reduces destruction by flow, - and a column eruptive 3500 meters above the island that comes out of two pyroclastic mouths, totaling 3 mouths.

And of course, it will continue to pressurize and the earthquakes will follow, if it does not encounter much resistance, they will be of magnitude similar to the latter and if it starts to encounter resistance, the PICA PICA will start hitting harder until it leaves, able to rise in magnitude to 4 + in coming days.

I leave you a long time ago thinking about these things, and in which you reach a conclusion:

′′ One thing clear, not knowing is a recklessness and that results in a disaster ": my phrase. ... (Enrique)

Brilliant article about the eruption.

I just hope the man that lives on La Palma an Islander gets to read this and he was so adamant that Cumbre Vieja was not a Volcano he should know as he lives on the island.

Caution for air quality in Tazacorte and Los Llanos
Currently according to Copernicus 855 buildings have been destroyed and 126 partially damaged, total 981 buildings

Those responsible for the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Emergency Assistance for Volcanic Risk (Pevolca) have explained the latest data on the evolution of the La Palma volcano. In this way they have explained that the main current concern is focused on air quality after detecting in measurements in Tazacorte that permitted sulfur dioxide thresholds have been occasionally exceeded, hence it is transferred to the population who take extreme security measures with use of FPP2 masks and open spaces are used as little as possible and especially people with vulnerability, pregnant women, children and the elderly or with respiratory ailments.

The air quality in these areas has been occasionally exceeded, the experts have explained, but they have also clarified that if it is not maintained over time, no special measures will be necessary, but with the weather of the next few days there may be a smell of sulfur in the surroundings of the valley and in areas such as Tazacorte and Los Llanos.

Therefore, precautionary measures with air quality are maintained, the explosiveness of pyroclasts is monitored and we are in the process of adapting measures to the current situation.

The confinement of San Borondón, La Condesa and Marina Alta and Baja will be maintained.

In addition, irrigators have been allowed access, between La Bombilla and El Remo and to the north of La Laguna Mountain, as well as agricultural harvesting tasks that will be extended to El Remo and La Bombilla tomorrow.

Access to homes has been allowed for urgent reasons but not for the collection of belongings. Neighbors have also been allowed to enter to feed the animals in areas less than 2 kilometers from the volcano.

Currently, according to Copernicus, 855 buildings have been destroyed and 126 with partial damage, a total of 981 buildings, but these are data that must be contrasted with the Cadastre and with the information of the neighbors

There are 186 evacuees and they are staying at the Fuencaliente hotel managed by the Spanish Red Cross.

On behalf of the Town Halls and the Cabildo, thanks are extended to all those who have collaborated by sending clothes or food and that it is no longer necessary for them to continue with these aid, but to provide financial aid through the accounts set up.

THE CHEAT ".- IN THIS LIFE YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED.- LUCY JONES.-

Knowing the information about anything there is and that happens, is not done to alarm, is to know what to do when the time comes and not improvise at the last second which could be a problem. Between Mike and anonymous person who knows enough about the subject, they have been talking, the conclusion, we need to prepare more, right now we are not ready and what I bring you next, is a transcript of that interview, with some input from me, more That's interesting. (Enrique) :.

′′ The Trap ′′

Mike :- This post is more than anything else a Reflection, from the real preparation for volcanic risk in Canary Islands, from the point of view of a person who knows very well and is excited about everything related to the issue Security and emergency plans, and he told me clear they are not, we had a long conversation where we talked after the possibility of a volcanic eruption that would pass and as it would coordinate that operative and he told me that some municipalities put interest the rest goes all, then I put you said conversation giving me permission to put it public but having it in anonymity.
Anonymous :- We need much more training to better know where we live and discarded a consistent surveillance system. We're on a hyper-populated island, in case something fat happens to watch it evacuate. (TEXTUAL WORDS) Even if it was only from side to side of the island, our communications would collapse.

MIK3: - There is a lot of volcanic tourism like HAWAI Sicily and many volcanic islands and not why there is less tourism and they will not lose it, they will lose it every day that passes through the little information that exists in the Canary Islands, the volcanoes are not the dangerous, They are the ones watching them.

Anonymous: - Right. Apart from tourism that we could empower and scientifically not tell you, we could offer a more sustainable model that would paradoxically leave up to more benefits, and not economical if not scientifically. And add that to Level Emergencies, and if I tell you for real, what worries me the most is the chaos that could form in case something could happen. We have no conscience. We would collapse any resource, and I think there could be more damage from nervousness (collective hysteria) and what is done out of ignorance, than by the volcanic activity itself, I knew something but the truth is that I had never paid attention until an acquaintance told me something and i started researching on my own.

MIK3: - People on the island now say many have pneumonia, went to the doctor and did not give him a clear diagnosis, and it could be caused by gases emanating from different points of the island, don't you think?
Anonymous: - People are continually dizzy without knowing the reason, and with bad being and breathing problems. We always talk about Teide, but there are over 300 volcanoes on the island, and gases come out everywhere. I put you in situation that could occur, Look, I am passionate about security plans, emergency plans and the like, because at the time I collaborated in drawing up a draft of a municipality, we did an evacuation drill for volcanic risk, More than 90 % died in Him.

Note Enrique: - This dice does not surprise me, it is a criticism of reality and without blunt, so if the eruption is important I think it has fallen short. If you cut off the communication lines, and more thinking that during the 2004 seismic crisis, you worked with a scenario where you had to evacuate the entire valley of Orotava and Icod and didn't know how. It's been almost 15 years and we're still the same.

MIK3: - It would be important if you can and it's in your hand you do it, as Lucy Jones says if you're ready get ready even more prepared. Tenerife would be a mousetrap in the evacuation case, they want to sell it's all controlled, reality is quite different, we have much to do.

Anonymous: - See, Tenerife has two airports in terrible areas for many things In case of eruption they would be disabled, If there were an area of the island isolated by road, very possible if laundry crosses... The chaos of the highway of the mornings would be child's play that he would ride with. No known gathering areas are planned already. Municipalities have nowhere to house so many people. It's something I'm passionate about. But unfortunately I can only work it from the shadows

MIK3: - It's a shame, Reporting is not alerting is FORMING AND EDUCATING WHAT CAN HAPPEN. It's just thinking about it and it's creepy and a lot.

Anonymous: - We live on an island crossed by ravines on which we build roads. Are these infrastructures ready for the movements that could cause an eruption? Imagine a southern highway collapse in any of your ravines? There's just the alternative to the old boat road. Which dock accepts large-draught boats? Santa Cruz, The Christians and the Unfinished Grenadilla. Do you know how long it would take to evacuate with small docks? Not to mention we are a territory with a very large population also How do you evacuate geriatric with the special needs of those patients? Let's see. The Cabildo pulled a line for town halls under 20.000 inhabitants to draw up emergency plans, it's a step. But there isn't much will from some municipalities, making the matter more difficult.

MIK3: - Thank you very much for all the contributions, people should be aware of what you told me and I could pass on is very valuable information!

Anonymous: - And anything you can bring to help enchanted.

CONCLUSION: The dangerous ones are not volcanoes, they are the ones who monitor them and the politicians and other government officials who manage insufficiently monitoring them.

I say goodbye to this review from Lucy Jones: For scientists the ′′ Big One ′′ will happen with certainty, no matter how much the public wants to deny it ". With the eruption in Tenerife and elsewhere in the Canary Islands, it's the same. We tend to focus on earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that may occur in the next 30 years, perhaps we should focus on ′′ NOW ".

The IGN locates 18 earthquakes in the south of La Palma, 4 of them felt
Today at 12:06, due to the increase in height reached by the eruptive cloud, the IGN has issued a new VONA (Volcano Observatory Notice for Aviation) communicating that the current height of the ash cloud is 5000 meters above the level of the sea.


The National Geographic Institute has located a total of 18 earthquakes in the southern part of the island of La Palma, 4 of them felt very weakly by the population .

One of them is located to the west of the island's coast while the rest are located between 10-14 km deep in the area where the reactivation that preceded the eruption of Cumbre Vieja began.

The maximum magnitude is 3.3 (mbLg) corresponding to two of them, indicates the IGN.

Like yesterday, the mean amplitude of volcanic tremor continues very stable in the last 24 hours, in a range of average values ​​with respect to the values ​​observed since the beginning of the eruption.

The island's network of permanent GNSS stations shows a return to deformation stability.

Today at 12:06, due to the increase in height reached by the eruptive cloud, the IGN has issued a new VONA (Volcano Observatory Notice for Aviation) communicating that the current height of the ash cloud is 5000 meters above the level of the sea.

This VONA was sent, as established in the International Civil Aviation protocols, to the VAAC (Volcanic Ash Advisory Center) in Toulouse, the ACC Canarias (Area Control Center), and the AEMET (State Meteorological Agency).

Update from Volcano Discovery and every update I have read today from all countries says there is an uplift and have added maps as proof.

I have no idea why Canarias7 posted ''The island's network of permanent GNSS stations shows a return to deformation stability.''



Since the violent re-start of activity on Monday evening, the eruption has been going on with more or less stable lava output from the vent, and volcanic tremor has been stable. During this morning, a tendency of increasing activity seems to be manifesting itself.
Interestingly, more quakes have started to occur again, mostly at 10-15 km depth under the central part of the volcano. There were 6 quakes of magnitude 3.0 or above and 21 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. The latest magnitude 3+ quake occurred only 1.5 hours ago, at 11.13 a.m., and was felt again by the local population.
Inflation and ground deformation have picked up as well during the past 12 hours or so, after they had been leveling out in the days before.
What could all this mean? We cannot say for sure, but one possible interpretation could be that the quakes and inflation reflect new magma intruding at depth, from where it might connect to the shallower system and further supply the eruption. It could also lead up to new vents forming, depending on how effective the currently active magma feeding system is to counteract the building pressure underground.
The next days will likely be very interesting to follow

''30/09/2021 h Canary Islands.- PALM ISLAND ERUPTION.- GASES, MORE ASHES AND RAIN OF PYROCLASTES. THE DANGER OF GASES, ASH AND PYROCLASTES IN HEALTH.- Gas emission control is very important, especially sulfur like SO2, SO3 and H2S and any volcano that is precious is put on an alert page for this gas by satellite measures and on land, giving alerts, but, this is Spain and here of course nothing at all. There's a satellite page to watch from NASA

Sulphur gases such as SO2 or H2S (smell of rotten eggs) are dangerous in certain high concentrations as it causes health problems in people, so don't take it as a joke. If you smell so much like rotten eggs in a place with a lot of concentration, so that at 2-3 minutes they no longer smell it, because they saturate the olfactory recipients of your nose, leave that area and look for a closed place inside from home. If they smell it... nonstop, it's very annoying, but indicates low concentrations, usually not too dangerous.

GASES TO BE TOUCHED
1-Thus the SO2 that has ′′ sulfur smell ′′ causes the following effects: Difficulty in breathing. Inflammation and irritation of the airway. Eye irritation from sulfurous acid formation over wet mucouses.

2.- H2S or sulfhydric acid or ′′ smell of rotten eggs ′′ irritates soft tissues of the body, like eyes, nose, throat and lungs. High concentrations quickly dampen sense of smell and continuous exposure can lead to asthma attacks, respiratory distress, loss of consciousness and death.

3.- CO2 can displace oxygen in low-lying areas, basements and poorly ventilated depressions, including coastal areas, may cause respiratory problems and even death if you are too long in the area where no oxygen is.

And there's more... like HCL or HF in areas close to mouths or when lava laundry interacts with masses of salt water as is now the case with the ocean. Here's a complete guide to the issue:

They recommend using FFP2 masks given the "point peaks" of sulfur at harmful thresholds
Exclusion zones and confinement are maintained

NOTICES DIARY

The Steering Committee of the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Attention to Emergencies due to Volcanic Risk of the Canary Islands (PEVOLCA), meeting this morning, agreed, based on the report of the previous Scientific Committee, to maintain the exclusion zones and confinement of the coastal neighborhoods of Tazacorte and intensify the surveillance of air quality, among other protection measures, to guarantee the health and safety of the population and those involved.

The PEVOLCA technical director during the days yesterday and today, Rubén Fernández, announced that the wash flows with some stability towards the sea following the course of the previous wash, but that the eruptive process continues to develop in the same conditions as yesterday, with some overflow points, so it is necessary to continue with access restrictions, except for emergency services and scientific personnel, in order to ensure the safety of people.


Torres: “We will be at the height of this magnificent society ...
Torres thanked the Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Courts and ...
Regarding the emission of gases, he indicated that some measurements in Tazacorte have given peaks of sulfur dioxide at specific moments that exceed the thresholds set out in the air quality regulations, for which the PEVOLCA reiterates to the population that use FFP2 masks Stay indoors and pay greater attention to vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with chronic respiratory diseases. In this regard, María José Blanco explained that the weak winds expected on the west slope will be unfavorable meteorological conditions from the point of view of air quality, since this weekend a phenomenon of thermal inversion is forecast that will not allow the dispersion of particles.

Today the community of irrigators and owners of farms located between La Bombilla and El Remo have been allowed to carry out irrigation work. These tasks have also been carried out to the north of the La Laguna mountain, where collection work has also been authorized, which will be extended tomorrow, if conditions permit, to the area between La Bombilla and El Remo.

Likewise, today the access of some residents to their homes has only been authorized for very specific and urgent matters, as well as to feed the animals with a security convoy, and always outside the exclusion area. PEVOLCA continues to constantly monitor parameters such as air quality, explosiveness and the emission of pyroclasts, among others.

Rubén Fernández pointed out that according to the latest data from the Copernicus satellite, there would be a total of 981 buildings affected, of which 855 would be totally damaged, although he recalled that these data have to be contrasted with the cadastre and municipalities and make a detailed analysis. the type of building. Regarding the sheltered, he pointed out that 186 people remain in the Fuencaliente hotel, with the support of the Spanish Red Cross. Rubén Fernández stressed the importance of not relaxing sanitary measures regarding COVID-19, that is, maintaining a safe distance and reinforcing the use of masks.

The PEVOLCA technical director thanked, on behalf of the Cabildo de La Palma and the affected municipalities, the solidarity of the people who have donated clothes or other belongings. In this regard, he pointed out that these needs are already covered and said that collaboration can continue to be made with donations through the accounts set up by the Cabildo, city councils and other official entities.

Daily opinion of the Scientific Committee

Prior to the meeting of the PEVOLCA Steering Committee, the Scientific Committee of the Plan met in which its members presented their conclusions on the evolution of the eruptive phenomenon since yesterday. This Scientific Committee is coordinated by the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Government of the Canary Islands and is made up of representatives of the National Geographic Institute (IGN), Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan), the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME), State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO), University of La Laguna and University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Such conclusions were: “The fissure eruption continues to show a strombolian mechanism with an effusive prevalence for two days in the emission center of the north flank. The stream that reached the sea maintains a continuous flow towards the sea in the form of a waterfall. At the base of the cliff a lava delta is forming with a wide front that has reached the 24 m depth visible on the surface. In the contact area, clouds of water vapor and other possibly toxic gases are being produced, which are concentrated in a small area around the contact (marine plume).

Along the fronts of this active wash that has reached the sea, significant advances can be made. Although the active wash has reached the sea, the eruptive process continues its activity. The rest of the washes are practically inactive. Since this morning, the appearance of an extensive fumarolic field on the northeast flank has been observed. The eruptive process can show episodes of increased and decreased strombolian activity, as well as pulses with phreatomagmatic activity. The morphology of the cone changes repeatedly due to the successive processes of growth and reconfiguration.

The measured height of the ash and gas column today is 2500 m. The predominance of atmospheric stability continues with the presence of a marked thermal inversion (about 5 to 7 ° C). This investment is located around 1500 meters and will descend tomorrow to about 700 meters, due to the entry of a warm and dry mass in height of African origin and that may be accompanied by haze at high levels. The wind will continue from the northeast around 30-40 km / h, with strong intervals in the extreme southeast and northwest (in these areas the gusts can occasionally reach 70 km / h).

In the area near the eruption, due to the orographic effect, on the west slope, there is a predominance of breezes according to the diurnal cycle (sea-land direction during the day and vice versa at night). Between 1500 - 5000 meters, the east to southeast component will predominate with intensities between 25 - 35 km / h. The previously described wind configuration will dispose the ash cloud and SO2 towards the north-northwest from the eruption area, mainly affecting the west slope of La Palma. The high stability in the lower layers of the troposphere, together with the weak winds on the west slope, will be unfavorable meteorological conditions from the point of view of air quality.

Low probability of light rain in the north and east, for the day today. Seismicity continues to be located, mainly, close to the seismicity of the first days, at depths greater than 10 km. In the last 24 h, a few dozen earthquakes have been located, the largest of 3.3 mbLg, felt with intensity II EMS. Some shallow earthquakes are also recorded around the eruptive center. The tremor remains stable at medium levels. Some seismic stations near the lava delta register a high frequency tremor. The deformations show a stable pattern. The estimation of the rate of emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere by this eruptive process yesterday continues to register relatively high values ​​in line with the eruptive process, reaching values ​​of 7149 tons per day.

The daily threshold for particles below 10 microns (PM10) established according to current air quality regulations (50 μg / m3), was exceeded yesterday at the Los Llanos mobile station. This daily exceedance does not mean, for now, that air quality limits for health are exceeded, but it is recommended to continue with the precautionary measures established in yesterday's report. During this day, the values ​​of PM10 and PM2.5 particles are decreasing in the set of stations, compared to previous days effect .

Regarding sulfur dioxide (SO2), in the measurement booth located in Tazacorte, high and very high values ​​are being measured for several consecutive hours, reaching over 500 ug / m3 in the hourly average of 8:00. At the moment, hourly values ​​higher than 300 ug / m3 are being measured at said station. At the station located in Los Llanos, an increase in the concentration of sulfur dioxide has been observed since last morning, reaching values ​​around 100 ug / m3 from that moment. This does not mean that the hourly limit values ​​are exceeded, but if you continue in this way, the daily limit value could be exceeded. The smell of "rotten eggs" reported by some citizens in Los Llanos de Aridane, is due to hydrogen sulfide in the air. This values,

The smell of “rotten eggs” and the increase in SO2 is due to the affection of the volcanic plume in the area. With respect to the rest of the stations located on La Palma, the SO2 values ​​are low and do not present a problem at this time. The marine plume generated by the encounter of the lava with the sea should not be underestimated, but it should not cause alarm either. It is suggested to pay close attention to the forecast of the wind to monitor the possible changes of direction of the plume and act accordingly.

Emergency services working within 1 km of the delta should wear goggles and gas masks. Eye flushing is also recommended after any exposure, as symptoms are often not noticed until later. These marine plumes can be felt up to several kilometers away from the source, although of course more diluted. If the marine plume were to reach population centers, it would be very beneficial to stay indoors whenever possible and close all doors and windows.

We believe that careful management of plume exposure can be achieved, rather than the need to expand the exclusion zone. Those with weakened respiratory systems (eg asthmatics) should pay close attention to plume forecasts as they are more vulnerable at lower concentrations. To avoid the possible effect of these facts on the safety of the navigation of BO Ramón Margalef that carries out its scientific work in this area, it is recommended to maintain a distance of at least 500 m.

Given the large thicknesses of lava flow observed in some points, collapses of its face can occur which, in steeper areas, can lead to the formation of large fragments of lava flow, which can detach from the face of the wash and that sudden reaching distances of several meters from the pouring face, depending on the topography. Also in steep areas, small pyroclastic flows can occur.

A 2.5 km exclusion radius around emission centers is recommended to minimize the risk of pyroclastic impact and exposure to gases. It is also recommended not to approach the lava flows due to the risk of being exposed to the gases emitted, possible landslides and high temperatures. It is possible that some violent detonations could break the glass of the windows, up to a radius of 5 km from the cone.

Therefore, in case of intensification of explosive activity, it is recommended to stay away from windows. In areas affected by intense ash fall (a clear deposition on the ground is observed) and even more so if mist is observed, it is recommended to stay indoors. Outdoors, the use of FFP2 masks and eye protection systems is also recommended. Before the arrival of ashes to other islands, it is recommended in those affected, the use of surgical masks.

It is recommended to clean roofs where ash thicknesses of several centimeters accumulate. It is insisted that the ash removal procedure indicated by Civil Protection be followed precisely (moisten ash, eye protection, wear a mask, protect the skin, ..., see attached documentation). Respect for the land and maritime exclusion zones remains imperative in order to maintain the physical integrity of people. Continuous monitoring of activity has been strengthened and any significant changes observed will be reported. Stay tuned to the information provided by the corresponding Civil Protection authorities ”.

A new wash appears from the back of the secondary cone
During the afternoon the activity with more explosions has increased and there has also been an increase in seismicity


A new lava flow has erupted tonight from the La Palma volcano. The seismologist Itahiza Domínguez has announced that this wash has appeared at the rear of the secondary cone of the eruption.

The eruptive process has not ceased this Thursday, the lava flows into the sea in a continuous flow that has already formed a delta 500 meters wide and 40 meters high. Until now, the rest of the flows have been inactive, allowing farmers to access their crops to water and pick fruit.

The comments below are in response to comment from an Islander to Mike Hayward who has worked with Enrique in the past and is working with him now they are both reporting on what is happening on La Palma and by showing graphs movements reports etc etc they back up everything they write . Some islanders are not liking this because they are watching Canarian TV and reports from IGN which may contradict what is reported on Volcanes y ciencia hoy .




''Good morning first place. second I continue to help Enrique because it will complicate the situation. Leaving said last night I was about to drop all of this but some people don't think like others that have a snarky tone doesn't mean I'm enjoying last night was 2 am and I was answering messages from people who were scared. I say one thing to your leaders don't fall their faces of shame?, as that says they go out nor the antipodows will serve them to hide, yesterday on TVC sweet Canary... interviewed a person from tourism they had warned the travel agencies that they were not a good time to travel because they had to know the situation and felt safe about the evolution of the volcano and what? , the days before the eruption everyone knew this even before the summer that this year did not pass into sight that they had no emergency plans and went from yellow to red without going through orange, making an orange on deck evacuating orange in yellow when the shooting Earthquake occurred hours before the airspace from Aena closed hours before meanwhile the inhabitants of La Palma watching them coming that little shame.... that's enjoying. since childhood this was my life the volcanoes the earthquakes and I do not like this anything what is happening rather I have anxiety the NATURE is the one who really knows what she is going to do... no gadgets or anything she.

Right now we have several VT movements whether they're gases from contacting water with magma, those movements you're feeling will be increasing in the next few hours and days, as it was given in the first eruption you can highlight an increase in tremor along the early morning and even locating those 4.0 3.3 3.2. very superficial and it is as well known Enrique and I as the pica pica or pylon hammer since those moves along with the VT (Volcano Tectonic) Hybrids and harmonicos are those who help more and more to climb to the surface, and could come that day when it does in advance you possible steps that will take the volcano through low-frequency movements (MIK3) OS ASSURE SOME, WE JUST WANT TO REPORT I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU, OR I AM JOYED BY WHAT YOU ARE, HAPPENING BUT WE HAVE NO BLAME THAT AFTER ALMOST 4 YEARS ASKING FOR THAT TRAINING ARE AS YOU ARE, THEY ARE THE GUILTY OUR OBJ3TIVE 3 S COUNT WHAT NO S3 V3. (MIK3) OCDD IS ANYONE OUT THERE

Mike Hayward thank you so much for reporting 😀, you put your heart into what you do and it shows. If they criticize you the ways, maybe it's because they can't rebut your data. They want to withhold or conceal information, whoever reports will be deleted, belittled until insulted. People can misunderstand sometimes a post, more with the feeling and heart you put in. But by little reading a few posts of yours will understand that there is no sarcasm in your words. You do the work that official sources don't want to do, without Enrique and you could pass a catastrophe in human lives. Journalists already quote you as a reliable source when reporting. 👏👏👏👏👏👏


Now a M2.2 at only 6km depth the magma is slowly finding a way out.

The earthquakes are once again noticeable in Mazo and Fuencaliente
They locate one of magnitude 3.5 and six between 2.3 and 2.6 during the night

The National Geographic Institute (IGN) has reported that at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday a seismic movement of magnitude 3.5 on the Richter scale was located in the Palma municipality of Mazo, 13 kilometers deep, which has been followed by another six earthquakes .

This Earthquake was located after the same thing happened at 7:50 p.m. on Thursday with a magnitude 3.4 seismic movement in Fuencaliente, and also at a depth of 13 kilometers.


Since then and until 06.50 am this Friday, the National Geographic Institute has located another six seismic movements on La Palma, with magnitudes between 2.3 and 2.6, four of them in the municipality of Mazo and two in Fuencaliente, and at depths of between 11 and 19 kilometers.


UPDATE SINCE THIS WAS PRINTED THERE HAS BEEN A M2.2 AT ONLY 6KM DEPTH

Confirmation of the opening of a new mouth.

Buenos días Canarias! Hoy amanece en #LaPalma con la confirmación de una nueva boca, paralela a la principal, a unos 400 metros más al norte. Así ha comenzado hoy

INCREDIBLE !! ... Three scientists risk their lives on the La Palma Volcano. An explosion of the main cone surprises 3 Involcan technicians, a few meters away, forced to protect themselves from the rain of pyroclasts and lapilli. The dramatic moment was recorded by one of them. #volcanlapalma #volcan #volcanocumbrevieja #VolcandeLaPalma #involcan # scientistsvolcano # explosionsvolcano #volcano danger #pyroclast rain

This one comment in reply to the above video

''Tremendous ′′ but, a but ′′ What does he do in shorts? The first thing is to protect you long sleeve, long pants and natural fibers (greater fire resistance).. I am not a scientist nor I reach nor pretend is mountain law, the first thing you learn when you walk, I predict protecting you''

I personally totally agree with this and I am thinking these are not trained scientists geologists etc etc because they would not be dressed like that doing such an important job and as they should be protecting the islanders  do not  they seem not to understand they firstly need to protect themselves and  it makes me even more worried for the islanders now.

Surely they should have protective fire suits on and oxygen masks I really am gobsmacked after watching the video.

I know after have lived in the Canary islands for many years their way of life is so different and laid back but come on I think IGN are way out of their depth and the Spanish government should now start urgently to bring to L Palma specialists from Hawaii Iceland and Italy.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION AND NOT THE OPINION OF FUERTEVENTURA - FORUM

The La Palma volcano has two new mouths
Scientists predict that the new cast will eventually join the main cast


The La Palma volcano continues to maintain the same intensity of previous days and last morning two new mouths appeared, separated about 15 meters from each other, which are to the northwest of the main cone and below in levels.

The technical director of Pevolca, Miguel Ángel Morcuende , has informed in a press conference that from 02.00 hours these two mouths are emitting effusive lavas that advance taking advantage of a favorable topography, seeking the union towards the trace of the original wash.


Miguel Ángel Morcuende explained that, at the beginning, this new casting moves about 450 meters apart from the original casting, but looking for the unit downstream. At around 10 a.m., the LP-212 highway was passed and it continues to evolve towards lower levels.

The technical director of Pevolca pointed out that scientists are already monitoring and supervising this new runoff and are close to having a mathematical model of the probability of its follow-up.
