Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2021
Enrique has updated his last post.

27/10/2021 19:30 h Canary Islands.- PALM ISLAND ERUPTION.- Earthquake SENSE IN HALF ARCHIPIELAGO OF ALMOST 5 MAGNITUDE.- HIGH CONCENTRATION OF SO2 IN THE VALLE OF ARIDANE AND A LOT OF NOISE.- MAP OF COLADES NEW OLD.- Today a 4.8 has been recorded, but I didn't expect it so soon, I was surprised, like no, but this Earthquake has strange things, not just in its Detection as very sense in almost the entire archipelago, (Tenerife, La Gomera and El Hierro) and so much so that the IMP Weather Institute of Portugal is the most intensity recorded of the entire series with a 4.3, hence that the EMSC gives you a magnitude of 4.7, but also in its data, as it has been felt and when it has occurred, and might indicate that the system is changing or will soon do so.

Be that as it may, the blue line marking the collected seismic energy released indicates that the Earthquake-volcanic or swarm system continues to accelerate (activate more), and each releases more seismic energy, unfortunately, and so far has not touched a roof that is seen and we have eruption left for a while until this calms down a bit or starts to calm down which is not seen.

Tomorrow's Earthquake forecast continues, although it now has less energy in principle having dissipated part... we will see what happens, there are still many hours left and goes into cycles of every 6-12-18 h that produces intense earthquakes, has already done so before as last October 19 where we had a 4.5 followed a 4.8 at 18 h... we will see what he does, next is an Earthquake that sits up to Gran Canaria above of magnitude 5.

COLADES:
The new central flow, which I've called flow 13 that runs over the old ones, (orange on the map) has 5 arms. His origin needs to be looked for in the latest cone collapses., the first of them, the farthest south is the one I called 13 A, has reached the kipuka where the dogs were and has covered its northernmost part and has almost stopped since yesterday, but has developed an arm from further back as it runs further north that goes faster has advanced and is heading westward down the hillside.

Arm 13 B has clogged some remaining kipukas and it's very wide, but it looks like it has stopped or almost and with lots of lava coming down west. Then there's the 13 C that yesterday destroyed other kipukas in the upper part of Paradise and Alcala street and continues westward, and it seems to have been integrated into one of the existing tubes coming down that area. A new 13 D arm goes down the north flow area and gets into the tubes feeding flows 9 and 10.

South flow or flow12 is still stopping about 150 meters before photovoltaic central, good news definitely. and the one I'm most concerned about right now, flow 10, which is fencing the Laguna continues to swell worryingly as it remains well fed and has widened a bit around the Laguna roundabout area. It seems that if you move you will do it south in principle which is the area of greatest advancement or less resistance in principle.

The volcano has cleared its throat, collapsing on itself and generating a major crater with a larger depth point and throwing a lot of pyroclasts as it's been days since it didn't. The tremor continues to rise with an upward trend marking today that system pressure in general is upward, which is confirmed by the rise of deformation,. SO2 is around 56300 tons / day, very very high and announces more activity in coming days.

And watch out for air quality in the area, with these high emissions, concentrations occur in nearby un recommended areas, in fact this afternoon with almost 400 micrograms per cubic meter of SO2 at around 16:00 h in Aridane Valley is quite enough and please they must watch it as it is not good for health.

Have a good night, but we have difficult hours, it's going to give you a lot of trouble the next few days. I encourage everyone, and keep an eye on official reports, let's not surprise us, a volcano in this state can do what they want, and no one can stop it. And it's not unpredictable, it just acts like a volcano that keeps getting more angry.. so to speak in a way that is understood... (Enrique)

Casimiro Curbelo suggests bombarding La Palma to channel the lava: "I may say something nonsense"
The president of the Cabildo de La Gomera proposes using military aircraft

El presidente del Cabildo de La Gomera, Casimiro Curbelo, ha sugerido en las últimas horas bombardear el volcán de La Palma con aviones militares.

« ¿No hay un avión que vuela y que pueda hacer caer? Llegar y hacer caer ¡blooom! y yo, oriento la lava en una dirección. Igual lo que yo digo es un disparate«, dijo el presidente gomero en Radio Faycan.

«Situémonos en una realidad de una balsa que pierde agua y queremos que fluya de golpe, habrá que actuar con un sistema que haga caer una pequeña bomba explosiva y destruir una parte de pantalla y que salga todo a la vez«, argumentó Curbelo

The president of the Cabildo de La Gomera, Casimiro Curbelo, has suggested in the last hours to bomb the La Palma volcano with military planes.

« Is there not a plane that flies and that can make it fall? Reach out and drop blooom! and I, I orient the lava in one direction. Like what I say is nonsense, "said the Gomeran president on Radio Faycan.

"Let's place ourselves in a reality of a raft that loses water and we want it to flow suddenly, we will have to act with a system that makes a small explosive bomb fall and destroy a part of the screen and that everything comes out at the same time ", argued Curbelo

The deformation reverses, but the volcano continues to emit "high" values ​​of sulfur dioxide
The column of smoke from the eruption on La Palma exceeds 3,400 meters while the lava is "focused on the sea"

The deformation of ten centimeters that was seen yesterday in the La Palma volcano has subsided, but the eruption continues to emit "high values" of sulfur dioxide at a rate of 37,350 tons per day . In addition, the emission of carbon dioxide, which had a tendency to decrease, has been increasing for several days (1,320 tons). This was explained today by the spokesperson for Pevolca's scientific committee, María José Blanco, head of the Geophysical Center in the Canary Islands of the National Geographic Institute (IGN).

The activity of the La Palma volcano continues to shape and reconfigure its cone . "The morphology changes repeatedly and yesterday a partial collapse of the main cone caused the flows to run west over previous flows," said Blanco. This is interpreted as good news, explained Miguel Ángel Morcuende, Pevolca's technical director. «The most important thing for us is that the lava flow could be maintained towards the areas where it is maintained in the last 48 hours because it is very favorable. The news is good, because they are focused towards the sea.

The lava flows primarily through the so-called colada 1, the first that originated with the volcano and that ended up creating a strip in the sea. In such a way that it fills in the gaps that it left, although in some areas it "gains height ," Morcuende said.

Blanco recalled that several emission centers are still active, which vary according to the collapse of the cones, and that "new centers" are not ruled out, but always within the exclusion zone in line with the main cone.

The smoke column reached a height of 3,400 meters yesterday, Blanco said, although due to the Weather forecast for the next 36-48 hours it will not affect air navigation. If it is probable, as in previous days, that fine ash reaches El Hierro .

Regarding earthquakes, Blanco reported that earthquakes are being detected at the same depths as in previous days, between 10-15 kilometers and greater than 20 kilometers, although in recent hours the magnitude has increased, reaching 3.5 and 4, 9 and the intensity between 4 and 5. As it has also said this week, the scientific committee does not rule out that it can be taken to an intensity of six.

As regards air quality, yesterday the maximum thresholds were exceeded in several stations (in Los Llanos de Aridane, Puntagorda, and this morning there was a significant increase in Puntagorda and Fuencaliente, although momentarily. For this reason, Morcuende explained, confinement is not recommended. What Pevolca is doing is finalizing a "warning protocol" so that when "certain exceedances of the thresholds" occur, "Pevolca's recommendations are immediately made known to the population." They are, Morcuende warned. , "Small measures" such as not doing physical activities outdoors or wearing FFP2 masks.

Morcuende also advanced the daily figures of people sheltered and damage to infrastructure. Until today there are 389 sheltered in Fuencaliente, two more than yesterday, and 65 in Los Llanos de Aridane, a total of 454 people . In addition, there are 38 dependent people in social health centers on the island.

According to the cadastre, said the technical director of Pevolca, the number of buildings affected is 1,291 , four more than yesterday, 1,038 of them for residential use, 135 agricultural, 64 industrial, 30 leisure and hospitality, 11 public use and 11 other uses 14.

This is what the towns near the volcano look like, submerged in ash
The effects of the ash are devastating for homes, plantations, animals and even the health of the people of the island.

The images are spectacular, entire villages, close to the volcanic eruption since last September 19, buried under the ashes.

The large amount of this volcanic black dust that has been released by the La Palma volcano is already causing problems for the population.
