KEEP THE INCREASE OF BLASTS AND SO MUCH TRITURATION, THE MAGMA IS CHANGING.- IS IT ENTERING WATER INTO THE SYSTEM? This explosive increase can be explained in a simple way and is with a magma composition change by entering something.. or old magma or something as simple as groundwater, at the edges of the fissures and opening of them has already had phreatomagmatics, then it would not be crazy to think that the main flow is affected and that's what I think is happening.

This increase in explosions, which sometimes came to exceed 400 m. high from the cone, they have surpassed the sea of clouds above, making the inferno that unfolded from far away... at 3 km high...

It's awesome... (Enrique).

At 17:20 today local time, a series of explosions have been recorded in the volcano. The Volcanic Ashes Advisory Center (VAAC) warned of an ash column that rose to an altitude of 10.000 feet (3.000 m) and moves to 5 knots in the southbound direction.

The aviation color code in the Canary Islands rises to red due to the volcano's gases
This measure "does not suppose any variation with respect to the current situation", which is of "absolute normality" in the airspace in the Canary Islands.

Volcano on La Palma. | Fran Pallero
The National Geographic Institute (IGN) has raised the aviation color code in the Canary Islands to red due to the evolution of the eruptive column of gases and ash from the La Palma volcano, although this measure does not affect the airspace of the archipelago, they indicate to Efe sources of Enaire.

The IGN points out on social networks that the color red "establishes an adequate protocol for air navigation to be totally safe."


The ash fall could already affect the marine ecosystem ...
This is the diagnosis of the scientific committee of the Volcanic Emergency Plan ...
Sources from the air navigation manager in Spain (Enaire) consulted by Efe insist that this measure "does not imply any variation with respect to the current situation", which is "absolutely normal" in the airspace in the Canary Islands.

On the same day that the La Palma volcano erupted, last Sunday, Enaire activated the action procedure for volcanic ash, in coordination with Eurocontrol.

Since then, this procedure implies that special attention has to be paid to the altitude of the smoke and the evolution of the ash from the volcano.

In addition, each plane heading to La Palma must check its flight plan before takeoff and confirm with Enaire that it is still valid and approved.

Enaire today agreed to restrict air traffic in the vicinity of the new La Palma volcano to facilitate the operation of emergency services, without the measure affecting commercial flights, which do not fly over that area.

This measure, requested by the Government Delegation in the Canary Islands, establishes two restricted areas, one that goes from the volcano and covers the route of the lava to the coast, and another that coincides with the restricted area for navigation decreed last Monday by the Maritime Captaincy of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

In these two areas, in addition to the emergency services, the security forces and bodies may only operate State aircraft, including those of scientific organizations, and those “duly authorized”.

Enaire pointed out to Efe that in "no case" are these two areas restricted by the direction of the gas cloud, but rather a measure to prevent private drones or the media from flying over it.

Tremor picking up.

[jand]

OMG look at the tremor now.

Sounds about right comments taken from Volcanes y Cienca Hoy..


Es intolerable y repugnante que no haya imágenes en directo de las coladas de lava, para que los dueños de las casas de la zona sepan lo que está pasando. Y que hayan requisado el único dron particular que lo estaba haciendo y le han dicho a la gente que hay que informarse a través de medios oficiales, cuando ningún medio oficial esta dando esa información. Debería darles vergüenza si tuvieran



It's intolerable and disgusting that there are no live footage of lava flow, so that local home owners know what's going on. And that they seized the only private drone that was doing it and told people to be informed through official media, when no official media is giving that information. I should be ashamed of them if they had.



Buena noches no tenemos noticias en Tenerife de como cuidarnos hay asmáticos en mi casa y personas mayores.
Que recomendaciones nos Dan? Que tipo mascarillas.
Si llueve tenemos que. Pretejernos?
Gracias


Good night we have no news in Tenerife about how to take care of ourselves there are asthmatics in my house and older people.
What recommendations do we give? What a mask guy.
If it rains we have to. Preteach ourselves?
Thank you

LA PALMA ISLAND ERUPTION.- EXPLOSION OF A HUGE LAVA BUBBLE.- Last night the volcano left us an ephemeral spectacle, the Strombolian libre in the crater of a massive lava bubble that shows us how much Gases that come out and that the lava is much more viscous and has trouble breaking out more, causing a burst of 200 m tall, half a kilometer in diameter, definitely a video of the most impressive I've seen in volcanoes ..
Evidently this is the beautiful thing, then there's what's not, and it's the expansive wave piece that is appreciated and how long it takes the brutal sound to get where the camera is. More than one should have made him jump, not to mention the noise in doors and windows by expansive wave, which may have caused damage to them in the nearby areas and that if he has had more at night it will not have been easy to reconcile the dream all over Aridane Valley.
The other consequence is ash, so much explosion crushing, dunking and itching material making it thinner, throwing it higher and further, causing it to affect more people, beware of ash and follow recommendations.
I encourage all those suffering from it, please count on my collaboration from this space and at the moment let's hope it doesn't go to more explosive and stay where it is, because there are plenty of families right now.
The main flow (the 2) that arrives in Todoque, is almost stopped, while the southern flow (the number 4) seems to have slowed down its advance speed by being further from the emission point and has already been finished passing narrowing to the N of cracked mountain and can now spread more laterally, increasing the size of the advance front. as soon as I have numbers I'll put it in. The emission rate remains high in view of the tremor this morning. (Enrique)

The #LaPalma volcano roars and the eruption intensifies with large explosions

🔊 You can see the shock wave and the time it takes for the brutal sound to arrive

The eruptive column on the island of La Palma , where the Cumbre Vieja volcano began to emanate lava last Sunday, reaches 3,000 meters of altitude and the winds will direct these gases towards the south, in the direction of the islands of El Hierro and de La Gomera, according to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).

The AEMET spokesperson , Rubén del Campo, has pointed out that the gases are altered by the heat of the volcanic eruption and this causes a permanent current of winds that is directed from the vicinity towards the area of ​​the eruption, above of this superficial zone and until the 2,000 meters of altitude.



At the moment, the winds continue to blow from the northeast while at an altitude of 3,000 to 5,000 meters, the predominant wind direction will be southwest, blowing at a speed of about 40 or 50 kilometers per hour and turning northwest at 5,000 meters above sea level. altitude late on Friday.

Thus, it predicts that the volcano's emissions during the day on Thursday and Friday will go south and will reach areas of El Hierro, La Gomera and Tenerife on the surface.

Specifically, it has highlighted that the highest concentrations of gases such as sulfur dioxide are in the vicinity of La Palma and at higher altitudes where the population is usually found. In fact, he adds that at around 1,500 meters of altitude, emissions can be dispersed throughout the rest of the islands of the archipelago, although "obviously" in concentrations much lower than those around the focus of the latter.

So far, Del Campo insists that at the surface level, where the population lives and according to information from the Canary Islands Air Quality Control Network, "the air quality has not been altered by the volcanic eruption." . Nor in the Peninsula, where the pollutant dispersion model used by the State Meteorological Agency and called 'Mocage' "does not observe a significant arrival."

Therefore, the spokesman assures that "the occurrence of acid rain in the surroundings of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands is ruled out" and as for the prediction in the archipelago, it only foresees rainfall in the north and in the east of the more mountainous islands. In any case, the rains will be weak and coming from low clouds. *

Del Campo admits that it is "complex" to integrate the existing sulfur dioxide concentrations at different atmospheric levels into the meteorological prediction models, but affirms that with the available information, At this time, it can say that “it is very unlikely that an episode of acid rain could occur in the Canary archipelago.

In any case, he adds that in the event of an acid rain episode, it would be "a specific episode" and recalls that the harmful aspects of this phenomenon "tend to appear in the long term and not in a specific episode."

A video showing what could happen if the lava flow reached the sea.

It is in Spanish but you can add subtitles and change them to english..
