2021 islands canary volcanic activity

Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2021
20:30h Canary Islands. - LA PALMA ISLAND ERUPTION. - DAY 73. - RE-PRESSURIZATION IN THE CAMERA 10-13KM PER WATER INTRODUCTION, MORE Earthquake, MORE TREMOR, MORE MOUTH, MORE ASH, MORE EXPLOSIONS AND LIGHTNING. In a capture from a moment ago, at 20:25:57h, you can see a lightning on the right and as the volcano is right now, the water is clearer. - I put the shot with nothing and with what I see.
The development of specialized mouths or from which different things come out, is already a classic in the Canary Islands and has occurred in many eruptions such as that of San Juan in La Palma or Narices del Teide or Chahorra in Tenerife. In the photo you can see the new mouths with Hawaiian effusive activity, a partial collapse with an incandescent front of material from further back to the left that is already rolling downhill, the mouth with strombolian activity and its explosions in warm and although it looks very bad, it is intuitive another that is emitting many non-incandescent or volcanic pyroclasts where phreatomagmatic explosions give us a clue of the very chopped material that is expelling with sonic explosions and lightning.


THE RESANKS AND THE Earthquake:

But this is what we see in the eruption zone, but there's quite a lot going on underneath, let's see if I can go on explaining everything little by little.

1. - In the deepest area of the system in the reservoir between 35 and 40 km, even more than 40 km deep follows seismicity indicating that magma moves and does so vigorously, with pressures adjustments capable of generating ha earthquakes It's 4.8 like the one we have had today or the 5 yesterday, which in turn boost more the magma, the movement or shaking of the ground produced by the earthquakes help to move the liquid magma and drain it better, you have no doubt. Although there is no spasmodic tremor, the queue is very long and almost an LP, causing the double detection failure by the IGN, which indicates a fluid depressurization process. At this depth (about 35-40km) it is more or less calm and this reservoir extends its roots in several directions, its magma catchment zone which has been noticed especially these last few days towards the Northeast under the Mazo and much beyond b garlic the LP05 that seems to come back to their normal values..

2. - In the middle area between both reservoirs between 35 and 15 km there is not much seismicity, but yes some earthquakes that mark us the conduit and small reservoir that was marked at the beginning of the eruption, when this is over a scheme 3 can be done D with the pipes tho Check out all the seismicity. This conduit starts under the deck and goes up tilted in the direction of SSW towards the Pueblo vertical and from there to the area below the vertical of Cumbre Vieja at about 14-15km.

3. - And we get to the core of this post, the reservoir or intermediate reservoirs at the base of the island 10-14 km that is giving us some very disturbing signals in the last two days. The first is that it is pressurizing, indicating the stations LP06 and LP04 a clear inflation today, but they indicate more things, something we have not had before, a new process as this magma invitation comes with much more pressure than the previous ones. The drill has been activated by the excessive pressure and begins to break the rock breaking with the PICA PICA, or rock chipper, towards the surface (earthquakes are noticed as if they were blows up) see the latest earthquakes, what m arcan clearly is going up and they're getting more and more dark right in the vertical of Cumbre Vieja practically, the main conduit.

4. - DEEP CONDUCT 7 - 10 KM The start of the conduit at 11-9 km is under the summit and then it is spinning towards the NNW towards the eruption zone passing through LP03, which loses pressure, which gives us a worrying reading, as if the existing conduit does not e s able to relieve the excess pressure in the coming days, the magma will look for another exit, the one it is looking for in fact, I hope it does not have the strength to break and go this way. Deformation tomorrow will tell us where things are going, if it goes up, we're going well, if it keeps going down...... does not relieve pressure because it has been stuck or the section is insufficient and itches itches or blows will start to pressurize with ever stronger earthquakes, thinking that 4.2 today at 13 km has been the max so far and seems to have broken something which has allowed the magma to migrate about 3 km up to 8-10 km where it is now breaking through a new path in the vertical of Cumbre Vieja. Looking very good on a map.


5. - Upper area of the conduit from 7-6 to 1km rises diagonally to the eruptive zone from the vertical of Cumbre Vieja towards the eruption point, so that the magma rises, asismic according to the IGN or without seismicity, which I do not understand, because I know of they should detect things in this conduit and do not publish, is more, the few that appear are quickly removed not being able to see well the film of what happens here and more with the offshore explosions and water entries that occur in the same, and which are appreciated in the seismograms and spectrums. especially in times when the pressure is low like today. On the other hand glissandos are not appreciated, indicating that we are not at maximum pressure, although seeing the tremor, whether it is rising more and more material or is more viscous that we see coming out of the eruptive point.

6. - Finally, the last stretch, the last 1-2km are more than interesting, because in this area if you pressurize, it opens directly and the excess pressure comes out through the easiest point. Summing up the eruption we have more than 30 mouths, and two main lineups or ditches heading NNW-SSE to the North and another a little further south more inclined to the North almost NW-SE direction and then a couple of points further in so q ue it seems another oddly near perpendicular fracture in the NNE- SSW direction. So we have between 2-3 ditches opening the island with a maximum distance between mouths of about 1300m.

And by the way if the conduit gets stuck in this area, the weight of the cone you have built, makes it difficult to exit and accumulates pressure and you can look for new emission areas that cost you less, such as the base of the current cone, process we are seeing d this makes a couple of days with the opening of new eruptive mouths.

CUDDIES:
The 19A flow continues its progress, the good news, besides slowing down, as I hinted yesterday, the 19A flow going to the Laguna has diverted south going up the old flow field, so it seems that the direct risk has passed. Yet another arm could still form higher that edged the laundry field, let's hope it doesn't, but if it's sticking too much in that high area of the polygon, it will be a matter of no time before it does.

At the moment part of the material goes to wash 19B which goes further south and which will be joined with the northernmost part of wash 17C which also has a supply of lava from the deep lava tubes coming down from the cone and that have not stopped flowing all these days. Tomorrow I'll put up some updated maps, today I'm not giving up more.

CONCLUSION:
So days ago we had a lot of activity down, then in the middle area, then in the reservoir at 10-14km and now in the deepest area of the reservoir on the base of the island 8-10km, so you do not need to be very luminous and give cue nta than that pressure has to be relieved by the outlet pipeline, so an increase of LP03 is expected for tomorrow, as well as the effusion rate of magma, gases and of course SO2 which should already be marking very high values above 15000 tonnes per day which marked yesterday and I think today but I haven't found any good data.

This is not over, with this volcano await us a few very intense days because it will surprise us on the other hand, that's for sure because we get a pressure blow, to see what it does and where it goes, because I do not rule out that it does 1949, that even stops and looks for a way out in another area, like the Nambroque area or I know.... We will have to pay close attention to seismicity, deformation and gases, let's hope it doesn't go out through new places. Much encouragement to everyone.

I'm still editing the post (Enrique)

01/12/2021 23:30h Canary Islands. - ERUPTION OF LA PALMA ISLAND. - DAY 73. - WAITING FOR Events - 10-12KM PRESSURE RESERVATION AND A MAGMA PULSE ON THE WAY TO THE ERUPTIVE POINT. - PASS. - I'm messy, but even though it's late, I'm finished with the maps. Today the volcano is in a waiting phase, if very active, but I am waiting for Events because the reservoir at 10-12km is still very pressurized and giving a lot of seismicity. The pressure is rising and the water is entering smaller then the amount of fine ash should be coming down, in change the strombolian fountain of lava will be getting higher.

Today it seems that everyone realized that what we have now is a second eruption without finishing the first, I don't know how many days since I said it, but the evidence at the end is what it is. The problem, is that the most intense part of it might not have started or arrived, that it is looking for a way to go and hopefully it will by the current eruptive point which is the easiest way to priori.

LP03 station over the conduit is the key, it should be inflated, marking the magma step pressurized by the conduit that goes to the eruptive point, otherwise it would indicate a problem, that the conduit does not relieve the pressure well and the magma will have to ro mper and open up again with more seismicity of 4+ less than 12-1km until we lose that pressure. Today these blows up or sparing point are about 6-8 km away on the vertical of Cumbre Vieja, let's see what it does, because if it didn't follow the same path, it would at first follow its vertical ascent.

I don't want to continue today until I see what defines, I lack information to give a clearer analysis, so, more tomorrow. For now I leave you the map of the new coladas that talk about the old ones, for now the good news is that they have almost all stopped or they are going very slow. The bad thing is that the volcano is throwing up a lot right now. Cheer up, we have one day less, whenever this is over.. (Enrique):

PS: Maps took me longer than expected.
