Islanders are reporting  feeling movements on the island.

,,At the moment we have received reports that you note vibrations in various parts of the island as the Mocanes, the colegio de Frontera, Los Llanillos and Sabinosa, where furniture and doors creak with the biggest and the bottles with water are shaken to the sound of the earthquakes, the last preference towards NNW - SSE ,,

One of the islanders has just posted this on the Avcan Facebook page.


El sismo de 3.0 a las 18:07:49 se sintió en Los Mocanes, ya lo he reportado al IGN

At 18:07:49 3.0 earthquake was felt in Los Mocanes, I've already reported it at IGN

jand

19.50 clock - it now carried the expected stronger quake - 17.39 clock ML3, 1 in 18 km depth and at 18.07 clock ML3, 0 at 19 km depth - both in the western Gulf of
18.15 clock  - like the Involcan leave just keep volcanologists the University of Berkley, California  . strong movements on seismographs not a tremor, since the typical signal missing It will be a different phenomenon that we are experiencing in the last few hours.
Those earthquakes come closer to the Earth's surface and are now on average 15 to 18 km depth.

Involcan on their Facebook page  have reported the island is swelling.

El último dato recibido de la estación GPS de la Red Geodésica Canaria instalada en Frontera, El Hierro, muestra que la tendencia al hinchamiento de la isla se confirma. En la gráfica se puede ver ampliada la flecha que señala el último dato, que como se puede observar, ya comienza a salirse de la escala, establecida en estos momentos en 12cm.

The latest data received from the GPS station of the

A comment from Joke Volta, who has picked up her art work again, but wants to share a few words with our readers :
W will to wait a few more days to have a better view about the current intrusion. As it looks now, there is not enough "power" to end up in an eruption.  But..well..this can change, just as the" sudden" appearance of this activity yesterday afternoon.
In the Golfo/Frontera-area people do feel the quakes. Down here in El Pinar, I do not notice movements...
It surely would not be safe to enter lava-tubes or discovering caves at this moment for the reason that there can be a gas-escape based on the current activity.
I hope that every visitor of the island will get information after or even before they arrive. Until now it is not dangerous, but I do  recommend to get a steady information about the situation.Earthquake-report offers this – regards to all of you, Joke

2013-03-19 16:25 UTC
- 94 earthquakes listed until 14:00 UTC
- The Salvamar Adhara has been cruising in the Las Calmas sea earlier today (based on data from Marinetraffic.com).
- The seismic activity has weakened considerably since 11 AM UTC.  Strongest earthquake M2.6, depths unchanged.

The way in which has begun the seismic phenomenon in the island of El Hierro before yesterday at 2:30 in the afternoon and the depth to which earthquakes are originating suggests that there will be a volcanic eruption in the short term. According to Vicente Soler, volcanologist of the volcanic Canary Islands station (CSIC), there seems to be power enough to lead to an emission of lava intrusion.

The phenomenon that is taking place in El Hierro has its origin in the arrival of a magmatic intrusion that collides with the base of the island. Not having enough energy, these pockets of magma not come to break the crust and go outside in the form of rash. Effects manifest themselves only in the form of deformations measured by GPS, and intense seismic activity; both parameters reported by IGN.

Since it began volcanic activity in the Western-most island, in July, 2011, have been 16.977 seismic events. Temporal and spatial distribution (figure attached) makes us think that there have been five ascending magma intrusions that have collided with the island building, and only the first of all, has given rise to an eruption.

The interpretation of the data reveals that the increase of seismic energy in July of 2011 occurred very slowly as it would be for a large intrusita mass, taking weeks to produce earthquakes of magnitude 3 on the Richter scale. On the contrary, recent entries posted two days ago by the IGN reach values of magnitude of 3.1 a few hours started the phenomenon. The interpretation of these data leads to the volcanologist Vicente Soler to the hypothesis that the mass of magma that has ascended to the base of the island is small and therefore, not enough to cause a rash at the moment. A follow-up of the situation and the study of the data in the next few days will need to assert that assumption.

All indications are that earthquakes will continue producing and the insular platform will be deformed as a way to liberate the energy of the mass of ascending magma. But all of this is part of the normal seismic activity of an active volcanic island and there are historical precedents in other islands of the archipelago.

21/3/2013. A multidisciplinary team consisting of scientists from the Canary Islands Oceanographic centers, Malaga, Cadiz, Madrid and Balearic Islands of the Institute Spanish of Oceanography (IEO), of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, of the University of La Laguna, the Spanish bank, algae and the Museum of nature and the man of Tenerife, set aboard the research of the IEO Ramón Margalef vessel heading to the island of El Hierroto begin the first of three Oceanographic campaigns provided for in the context of the Vulcan project.



The main objective of the Vulcan project is to assess the impact of the volcanic event underwater of the island of El Hierro on the marine ecosystem, physico-chemical characterization - biological medium. In addition, there will be new uprisings on the island topobatimetricos.

The affected ecosystem is one of the richest and most sensitive of the Spanish territory. El Hierro island was declared a world biosphere reserve in January 2000, has a proportion of protected areas that reaches the 58.1% of its surface and a marine reserve in the Mar de Las Calmas, where is located the eruptive focus. Therefore, a physico-chemical characterization - biological of the marine ecosystem of the island of El Hierro is considered vitally important to quantify the degree of the eruptive process on the same condition.

Project Vulcan (Volcanic erUption at the iron IsLand.) Sensitivity and ReCovery of the mAriNe EcOsystem) will install in addition a buoy equipped with physical and chemical sensors that can transmit data via satellite. Through the web (www.vulcanoelhierro.es) any user can access the data in real time.

004 SPECIAL NOTE PROCESS TRACKING VOLCANIC EARTHQUAKE ON THE ISLAND OF IRON. 21/03/2013 - 21: 45 h kuwait (18:45 Canary - UTC) today we had a third enjambrito in this new period of activity, that if smaller in terms of energy released is concerned with respect to the previous two a couple of days ago, though with 98 localized events and with a depth media that stays between 16 and 18 km. It has been located farther north than the last and more to the West than the first to the Northwest of the tip of white sand. (Enrique from Kuwait

And that will be the next we?, so far I can tell you that this swarm walks through a field asismico in terms of earthquakes of 2.5 or greater is concerned, i.e., looking for areas where there is no seismicity located by IGN since the start-up network. In fact in this map looks as each swarm occurred on the island of iron has been in a different zone. This swarm, in light blue, indicates that it moves by the North and it seems that you have connected to the West with the area crushed by the crisis Sanjuanera (red), although still has a zone from the tip of white sands to the South, which I think is candidate for the next, we will see what happens (Enrique)

and if we compare all the released and accumulated from the beginning, seismic energy more de16.000 earthquakes nothing less, are three main swarms as three large steps, the first from the left, which gave rise to the eruption to la restinga, second which seems that it gave rise to a rash at great depth in the Gulf and the third it seems that you caused some localized by the Hesperides and is attributed to the third possible eruption... confirmed 100% only the first, which was the only one that we all saw with our eyes or webcams.(Enrique).

..The behavior of the diffuse emission of CO2 and H2S registered during the last few months in the geochemical station HIE07 of the ITER at the service of the INVOLCAN can be seen in the following graph. Prior to the recent period of anomalous seismic activity that is this recording in El Hierro has been detected a relative increase in the diffuse emission of CO2, then and so simultaneously experience a relative decrease in the values of diffuse emission of CO2 and a relative increase in the values of diffuse emissions of H2S. This geochemical behavior of these two volatile species supports a process of movement of magma beneath El Hierro.

,,Spasmodic tremor: Most of the volcanic tremores, are presented as a sinusoid irregular, giving to the seismograph frequencies between 1 and 5 hertz. They are of the type known as harmonic tremor. But a second type of tremor, SPASMODIC TREMOR called, consists of high frequency pulses, usually between 5 and 10 Hz or more. In some cases, pulses, are discrete earthquakes that produce separate P and S waves, but in other cases, there is no differentiation of phases, P and S. The spasmodic signal is continuous in the sense that new "sub-events" or "eventitos", follow until the coda or final part of the previous "sub-event" for registration, returns to normal or usual seismic silence values. An example what we have in the attached figure, or in the seismogram of CHIE... Spasmodic tremores were collected in the Kilawea, Monte St.Hellens, Klyuscevskov, Vesuvius, Long Valley Caldera Foot of image: seismic data on the one hand, of a typical quake, and another, that of a characteristic spasmodic tremor, captured in the Mammoth Mountain in California. Spasmodic bursts, present in their major events, a coda, tail or end, with superimposed by other small earthquakes signal. We also show these bursts or pulses, with a high level of background signal which persists beyond normal decay times for a typical event. CODA: Some synonym of spasmodic: contractile, convulsive, agitated, hefty, trembling.
