''POSSIBLE SYMIC NET BETWEEN IN LA PALMA ??-MICROSISM OF MAGNITUDE 0.6 REGISTERED IN LA PALMA. WHILE CONTINUES ACTIVITY CONTINUES IN THE EL HIERRO, TENERIFE AND AROUND.- 22/09/2020.-This tiny microsism of magnitude 0.6 with no depth will surely abandon the catalog of localized earthquakes or be reviewed, as with a massive 293 GAP. is on the limit of admissible by IGN, which from 300 takes them out of the catalog.

This is a very low magnitude Earthquake recorded on the island that makes us think of a possible improvement or effort in the system of Earthquake tracking, since so far the least localized Earthquake was 0.8 a few days ago also with an important 263 and no depth GAP. The rest of earthquakes located this year are magnitude 1 or higher. Bout time to see if they keep and track more.

The volcano of TEIDE is another of the protagonists we do not have to forget and yesterday reminded us that it is still alive with a small seismic movement or microsism in its hydrothermal system that joins others from previous days, I put the last of some days.

But in Tenerife the most interesting seismically speaking is not under the Teide, but under the skirt of Pico Viejo where there is a swarm underway with more than a dozen Events in the last 15 days around 11-14 km of Deep and another swarm down in the Vilaflor de Chasna area, also with more than a dozen earthquakes around the 7-10 km deep that are well huddled in full South Dorsal. Both swarmers respond to accumulations of magma that produce seismicity when regional tectonic efforts produce tensions under the crust and pressurize these spaces.

And while life continues in the Iron, with more weak to moderate seismicity deep in the area from the center of the island all over the west bib of the island, even in its continuation under the sea and some more isolated by other parts in the South bord, especially the last three that have been in the south center and at a lower depth.

This morning a 2.6 Earthquake North West of Fuerteventura.

''Several tremors were recorded in the vicinity of the Enmedio volcano, with a magnitude of up to 2.9

The National Geographic Institute (IGN) has registered in the last 48 hours in the Canary Islands several earthquakes in the vicinity of the so-called Enmedio volcano, under the waters that separate the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria.


The last, and also the most intense, took place at 02:45 this Sunday, October 4, with a magnitude of 2.9 mbLg and only 8 kilometers deep.

Previously, on the morning of Saturday, October 3, there were two other tremors of more than 2 mbLg. Specifically, they took place at 08.04 hours and 06.59, both at a depth of more than 15 kilometers.

Of less intensity there have been another four tremors in the area. One of 1.9 mbLg (at 12:14 pm on Saturday); another of 1.5 mbLg (at 5:42 pm), and another two of 1.4 and 1.2 mbLg on Friday.

The Enmedio volcano is an underwater volcano with a base of about three kilometers located at a depth of more than 2,000 meters in the so-called Anaga-Agaete Channel.''

A swarm has started La Palma 26 earthquakes already since midnight .

Look at the link below all the earthquakes are listed and you cant even see La Palma for all the earthquakes.

''Today October 9, 2020, the Canary Seismic Network operating the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN) registered a new seismic swarm in the volcano of Cumbre Vieja (La Palma, Canary Islands). The first seismic event of this swarming has been recorded at 01:38 UTC (02:38 Canary Hour) and so far more than 25 low-magnitude earthquakes have been recorded. Earthquakes are located at depths of about 30 km. Due to the depth and magnitude of recorded seismic Events, this seismic swarm poses no danger to residents in La Palma. Updates related to this new seismic swarm will be posted in the next few hours.

Old Summit is an active volcano and the registration of seismic swarming are normal process in these types of natural systems. Since 2017 the Old Summit volcano has recorded four seismic swarmers, the first of which took place between 7 and 14 October 2017 with 120 seismic Events located, the second of which occurred between 7 and 14 October 2017 on 10 and 15 February 2018 with 78 seismic Events located, the third was recorded from July 24 to August 2, 2020 with 139 seismic Events located and the fourth was registered today October 9, 2020.''

Not an expert but looks like IMO the swarm is still continuing.

''Update on recent seismic swarm recorded at the Volcano Cumbre Vieja (La Palma, Canary Islands). After the seismic activity recorded yesterday, October 9, 2020, the Canary Islands Seismic Network has recorded 4 more earthquakes of very low magnitude (Mmax= 1.0) between 22:13 yesterday and 02:07 hours today October 10, 2020 (canary time). The hypocenters of these last earthquakes are located in the same area where yesterday's seismic activity has been recorded at depths between 25 and 30 kilometers. In total, since yesterday, INVOLCAN has located 39 earthquakes in the Vieja Summit Volcano.

The seismic activity recently recorded at the Volcano Cumbre Vieja pose no danger to the residents of the Isla de La Palma. Old Summit can be considered the most active volcano in the Canary Islands if it is considered that this volcanic building has been constructed over a relatively small interval of time (less than 200.000 years) and has also been the stage of 7 the 16 historical eruptions that have occurred in the archipelago over the past 550 years.''
