Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2021

[jand]

From around 22:00 last night these earthquakes all over M3.0 for nearly an hour were happening within minutes of each other.

Earthquakes have not stopped all night and have carried on this morning all can be viewed on the link below..

Latest update courtesy of Enrique.

07/10/2021-10:00 h Canary Islands.- PALM ISLAND ERUPTION.- THE SYSM-VOLCANIC ACCELERA A LITTLE AND THE ISLAND IS STARTING TO HINCH AGAIN.- TONIGHT AS I commented yesterday has been auga... and this continues, the seismic energy released does not give truce and the swarm continues to progress, but there are changes that indicate that the magma at 10 km has begun its journey to the surface primarily causing a increase in pressure that is noted with a surface lifting or inflammation. It's a trend changing first data and we'll have to confirm it with more data in the coming days to see if it's serious or just a small variation. Let's hope it's second and we can capeate the storm.

The truth is that I get disturbing reports, cracks, murky caramel water in some faucets, tremors and vibrations, explosions, lots of ash, smell of gas rotten eggs throughout the valley of Aridane, dead fish (I have not been told where and I have to confirm) and a life altered to many people by the volcano in many areas of the island. So far it's still the same, but I don't know in the next few days that will erupt.
And there are things that fall by their weight and may be the beginning of something, I start with the deformation where you appreciate a lifting or swelling of 2-3 mm in LP03 that could indicate that more magma or new deep magma comes to higher levels closer to the earth's surface, rising the pressure and with the SO2 rate that has given Involcan of 13100 tonnes / day yesterday, very significant value, tells us that this will not stop shortly, rather it seems the opposite and more material coming than it's already coming out. So the eruption has several weeks left, two at least two months or more....

GPS DEFORMATION LP03


Regarding seismic activity, it will continue with earthquakes in the environment of 4 or more, so that the great earthquakes almost look better in the Gomera than in the Palma, due to the noise of the volcano or tremor, which does not allow to appreciate well the oscillations in earthquakes, on the spectrum if seen as vertical lines. And if we look at the seismic energy released accumulated we see that the volcano has recovered time lost the past days maximizing its energy emission that has surprisingly risen a bit from yesterday, indicating that the magmatic system that causes the swarm continues to progress towards the surface .. The most remarkable Events are these 3.5 or more:

In short, I can tell you more, the deformation is usually related to the release of seismic energy and gas like SO2, which are unequivocal precursors of a volcanic eruption and indicate that the magma moves toward the surface, in this case new magma , as the eruption is underway.
In principle it is expected to exit at the point of the ongoing eruption, but we must be very careful with the homer earthquakes and deformation not to open on the other hand, the other likely area but second option is by the summit of Old summit in the Nambroque area as it did in 1949. At the moment it has not moved a sign in this respect.

To people who think I'm alarmist, I'll tell you this is what's up, it's better to be prepared and know what's coming than not to be in a uncertainty where you don't know what's going to happen (what's scary and distress) and it's not nice. If you have doubts you ask any scientist or volcanologist to contrast, you will answer the same, since all this I tell, is science and is based in principle on data supplied by IGN, Involcan and the people who live in the zone, much encouragement..

Some comments from the islanders put on this morning Volcanes y Ciencia Hoy


Olivia Carril Bolivar
Gracias, es una montaña rusa, pero solo estamos seguros de algo, será la naturaleza la que dirija este destino. La situación es grave, tuberías turbias con olor a gas, peces muertos...

Olivia Carril Bolivar
Thank you, it's a roller coaster, but we're just sure of one thing, it's nature that runs this destination. The situation is serious, murky pipes with gas smell, dead fish...



Joanna Arreaza
Estoy en Tijarafe hay por lo menos donde estoy había un olor a colocas,luego a huevo podrido y por último hay un olor entre algo que se está quemando y huevo podrido,horrible

Joanna Arreaza
I'm in Tijarafe there's at least where I am there was a smell of places, then of rotten egg and finally there's a smell between something burning and rotten egg, horrible


Flavia Cruz Toledo
Ayer nos pasó los del agua color caramelo por el grifo, fue solo un momento, luego volvio a ser transparete. 😥

Flavia Cruz Toledo
Yesterday we passed the caramel water by the faucet, it was just a moment, then it became transparent again. 😥 😥


Nieves Esther Rodriguez Martin
Armando Rodriguez Frias disculpe pero creo no es sólo en El Paso lo del agua turbia, tengo qué comprobar información......

Nieves Esther Rodriguez Martin
Armando Rodriguez Frias excuse me but I think it's not just in El Paso about the murky water, I have to check information......


Nieves Esther Rodriguez Martin
Mike Hayward también olor azufre ( cómo pólvora quemada) en Puntagorda

Nieves Esther Rodriguez Martin
Mike Hayward also sulfur smell (like gunpowder burned) in Puntagorda

The emission of sulfur dioxide indicates that the eruption on La Palma is going to take a long time
According to Involcan, the high emission rate indicates a very low probability of ending this eruptive process in the short term.

Thursday, 7 October 2021, 10:36
The Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands Involcan carried out on Wednesday sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission measurements in a maritime mobile position (maritime navigation) thanks to the mounting of remote optical sensors type miniDOAS in a Civil Guard patrol boat.

The need to carry out this type of measurement in a maritime mobile position is due to the limitations of carrying out these measurements in a land mobile position as a consequence of road cuts due to lava flows.

The measures carried out by Involcan with the Civil Guard patrol boat in a maritime mobile position were the first to be carried out in the Canary Islands, and the results have been of very good quality.

After carrying out several transects, it has been estimated that the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere by this eruptive process yesterday was 13,100 tons per day. A high emission rate that indicates a very low probability of completion of this eruptive process in the short / medium term.

I can confirm that I have seen one of the cracks on La Palma. The photo I have attached was taken by me from my TV watching TV Canarias live feed of the eruption last night.As they panned to the area I managed to take this photos. On the close up photo in the top left hand side you can see a house nearly buried and all the Ash in the surrounding area and the crack is showing in the lava flow.

There has been a M4.3 Earthquake.
