''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.''

''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.''

''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.''

''Information update on seismic swarm in La Palma October 2020.
After a first review, the Canary Seismic Network that operates the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN) has been able to locate a total of 89 earthquakes between 22:51 p.m. on October 8 and 02:26 p.m. The maximum magnitude of these low-magnitude earthquakes has been 1,1 and the hypocenters are generally located at depths of approximately 30 km. In red, earthquakes related to this October 2020 swarm are identified, while in grey the earthquakes related to the swarming of October 2017, February 2018 and July- August 2020.
It is reiterated that this seismic activity in La Palma represents no danger either for residents of the island or for those who visit and want to enjoy a few days in the Beautiful Island soon.
These daily information notes regarding the recent swarm recorded in the Volcano Cumbre Vieja (La Palma, Canary Islands) are possible thanks to the LPvolcano projects, which finance the Security Area and Emergencies of the Island Cabildo of La Palma, Canvolcano, which finances the Directorate General for Security and Emergencies of the Government of the Canary Islands and VOLRISKMAC, which co-funded the Interreg Cooperation Programme V-A Spain-Portugal MAC (Madeira-Azores-Canary Islands) 2014-2020
Further information updates will be provided depending on the evolution of this process and the acquisition of new data on it.''

''New seismic swarm in La Palma. From 03:22 and 05:08 p.m. (Canary Time) today October 18, 2020, the Canary Islands Seismic Network operated by the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN) has detected 12 seismic Events of low life magnitude (Mmax= 1,4) on the island of La Palma. Of these 12 seismic Events, 11 of them have been found and their hypocenters fall in the area of the Old Cumbre Volcano at depths of approximately 5 km. The figure shows in red the localized seismic Events of the swarm of October 18, in blue the swarm of October 8-10 and in grey the swarm of October 2017, February 2018 and July 2020.
This seismic activity in La Palma represents no danger either for residents of the island, nor for those who visit it and want to enjoy a few days in the Beautiful Island coming soon.
