This is an update on the latest post courtesy of Enrique that has additional information.

Translated.

"These earthquakes, give us a continuity of the activity of previous days and align in the direction ne-Ssw with a remarkable of magnitude 3.2 North of LA Palma and another in the north area of el hierro where the activity continues Area where everything started in 2011.

And while the activity continues in the central area of Tenerife, reminding us that the volcano is still active, although for many is nothing more than "the rock", which will never erupt.

Highlight this last point, education, I know a lot of people who really need to learn and educate, volcanically speaking, and that it takes a little spread of the matter, there are people who believe that the volcano of Tenerife is extinct. I've been ice cream, to ***** and not throw drop.... what would anyone say.

And I finish with the petition so that it doesn't pass like the volcano of white island in New Zealand, but on a larger scale.... in the Canary Islands.

PS: for clear and open seismic and volcanic information. No to the censorship of the IGN Canary Islands.

This comment IMO is so true from the response by the islanders taken from Volcanoes y Cienca Hoy posted by Merce Martin yesterday.

It is a total lack of education on the islands people are just burying their heads in the sand and I have said before I hold my hands up as I thought the same .

The Volcanic eruption on White Islands has shown no one should be complacent.


"Merce Martín Precisamente ayer hablando del volcán de Nueva Zelanda, comenté lo mismo que va a pasar aquí. Me respondieron que aquí no porque el Teide estaba dormido.
Esa es la educación de la gente de estas islas, qué le vamos a hacer.😞😞😞😞😞"

Translated.

"Precisely yesterday talking about the New Zealand Volcano, I commented the same thing that will happen here. They answered that here not because the teide was asleep.
That's the education of the people of these islands, what are we going to do. 😞😞😞😞😞"

[jand]

I find it unbelievable that people living on Tenerife have no idea that Teide is still active and there is ongoing activity at the moment and they don't realise that Teide is not asleep as some people think and they are under the impression that it could not erupt.

In schools surely they should now be taught about living on an active volcanic island and not to scaremonger but to explain things and advise about any evacuation plans if the level is raised .

I hope the Canarian Government take heed what has just happened in New Zealand and hope they are keeping a closer eye on Tenerife Gran Canaria and La Palma.
