On this day 50 years ago, the earth shook on La Palma to give way to the Teneguía volcano, in Fuencaliente. On October 26, 1971, around 3:30 p.m., an eruptive process began that would last until November 18 , in what would be the shortest historical eruption of those recorded on the island. The emission centers were located south of the San Antonio volcano, in an unpopulated area.
The volcano debuted with great explosiveness and later showed a more effusive character. The lava reached the sea creating a 29-hectare strip. In total, the volcano expelled some 43 million cubic meters of lava material that covered 276 hectares, compared to the 900 hectares that the current Cumbre Vieja volcano has already invaded, which has expelled 100 million cubic meters of lava and pyroclasts.
Due to the lower magnitude of the volcano, the Teneguía caused the death of two people by inhaling gases; Heriberto Francisco José Felipe Hernández and Juan Acosta Rodríguez.
