New eruptive mouth in Montaña Rajada
There are already four eruptive sources of the volcano and there are fears for the stability of the volcanic cone
During the morning of this Saturday a new eruptive mouth was opened in the La Palma volcano and there are already four that emit lava since the eruption began last Sunday. This new lava source is located further west of the main focus at the time when the volcano experiences its most intense hours.
The new mouth, of which it is still unknown if it has a lot of magmatic load, is added to the two that were opened on Friday and that caused the eviction of some 160 people from the neighborhoods closest to the volcanic cone area. The opening of a new mouth increases the risk of total or partial collapse of the volcanic cone.
While the cloud of ash and stones has increased in recent hours, which has forced, in addition to the aforementioned evacuations, to close the air sky of La Palma for safety. the population is recommended not to go out into the street, and if they do, they should do so with eye protection and a mask. Also try to remove the ash from the roofs of the houses before the possibility that the roofs give way due to accumulation.
