The activity is ongoing and the earthquakes are getting more shallow the latest one at 07:38 was actually only 2km deep.

''SYSMIC SWARM IN TENERIFE AND CONTINUES LA PALMA WITH OVER 600 REGISTERS, SOMETHING LESS THAN 100 LOCATED, THE LAST A LITTLE MORE CANARIAN SOMERS, SPAIN.- 26/12/2020.-

On the island of Tenerife continues to rattle the phonolithic magmatic camera that is - according to geophysics - under the boiler of Ucanca between 11 and 14 km deep with efforts these days with some earthquakes and small swarms, highlighting a couple of Events, a very deep one 26 km in the mouth zone of Tauce, where the background material of the system would enter and two more lighter 9 and 5 km that would indicate more surface tensions.
Tenerife's volcanic system continues to reactivate slowly for about 4 years and continues with the tran - tran without significant changes at the moment. The magma bag under Vilaflor, more somera has moved little or nothing with some unimportant Earthquake, that is under Adeje, there is another deep and it is also area of entry, which therefore these two deep earthquakes seem to announce more activity in coming weeks and months in the area and maybe some significant swarm (over 100 earthquakes) in Adeje or the Caldera as has been happening since November 2016.

As for the ongoing swarm in La Palma Island, there are now 602 officially registered Events by IGN and about 98 localized. It should be stressed that the last localized earthquakes have a lower depth (25-30 km) than the first (25-35 km), indicating an upward migration of the magma that is intruding the island from the mantle and decreasing the pressure on the deeper levels (lowering the pressure doesn't mean there's less flow in depth) while it's rising to more harsh levels as magma intrudes or progresses to the surface. A most interesting read. Now that is very deep and does not represent any risk, although it will be good to have it controlled, as it should migrate to levels more and more harsh if you have enough energy to do so. (Enrique)
