Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2022

[jand]

I could be wrong but the activity La Palma seems to be picking up ??

11 earthquakes already today and 5 over M2.0.

All can be viewed on the link below.

05/03/2020 - 21:45h Canary Islands. - SMALL SESMIC SWAMP IN THE RESERVATION AT 11-13KM IN THE PALMA, WHILE TENERIFE VERY QUIET. - This morning we have had a small repurpose in the seismicity in the Palma, with a seismic swamp in the area of the Magmatic Reservoir of Cumbre Vieja at a depth of 11-13 km that could be indicating the closure of the same or its end, it does not seem a pressurization.

Anyway it's something normal that there are answers, let's hope it's just that, and we're having a lot of regional tensions, which facilitates this type of Events. The magma on its part cools, stops and crystallizes, which in turn causes residual seismicity. These are the three most remarkable Events that could have been felt, although they are profound.

Tenerife is very quiet, too much, but the Palma has had a small swamp that I do not know if it is residual or the beginning of a small pressurization, in case of affirming, we should have more seismicity concentrated there and of more magnitude, but I think that it will not be so, it will only be a reply or eraser final.

On the other hand I am told that it's throwing quite a lot of gases and that smells fatal throughout the valley, the only station in the valley with public data, is in the mobile unit of the Passo and is with the flat encephalogram, in the value of sensitivity with values Below 1 SO2 microgram by cubic meter.
The truth is that the data is not credible as it has already happened in the entire eruption with this station that is not well placed.

Let's hope it doesn't pressurize anymore (That it has more tremors and stronger above 2.5) and ends once it stops, because the engine is still hot and it would be relatively easy for him to start if another intrusion enters. For now nothing else.

Much encouragement and greetings. (Enrique)

Malena Martin
Thank you Enrique!! The East also smells, especially at night and early mornings. Regarding the tremors, I also notice something from time to time, but unconsciously I think it's not because of the volcano😬

Tanit Abdelrahman
Thank you Enrique, I live in Tacande and this morning I seemed to hear strange noises...

Isa Ramos León
I want to believe that it's over, that no more and that's why, that intuition that didn't leave me alone, has been diluting. I hope so. Good night. Thank you so much Enrique.

Vanessa Hernandez
This afternoon it seemed to me like a wiggle, but of course, I don't know if it's my subconscious or it would have agreed with something you're talking about. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Delia Rodríguez Guerra
Thank you Enrique. it's true it SMELLS bad... at dusk and dawn.

Isilda Reis Lorenzo
Strong gas smell right now in Los Plains de Aridane

Jesús Fermín Hernández Hdez
Almost nothing wants to leave us alone

The small swarm looks to be continuing La Palma.

We are pleased to inform you that the weekly volcanological part GUAYOTA - Canary Islands of March 4, 2022 is now available. This part reflects the seismo-volcanic activity registered in the islands from last Friday February 25 at 00:00 hours until Friday March 3 at 00:00 hours and the volcanic alert level in the Canary Islands. Currently the volcanic traffic lights of Tenerife, El Hierro, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria are in GREEN position; therefore, residents and visitors of these islands can develop their activities with absolute normality. Almost three months after the end of the eruption on the island of La Palma, geophysical and geochemical parameters have not yet returned to normal; therefore, its volcanic traffic light is in YELLOW position. This means residents and visitors must continue to pay attention to communications from civil protection authorities.

Regarding the seismicity, we observe that over the last week the Canary Seismic Network has registered 103 earthquakes of low magnitude whose maximum value has been 2.6 related to an Earthquake located about 30 km north of the island of Tenerife last Tuesday March 1st. The total seismic energy released has been 2.9 gigajules, which is similar to El Iron Island's electricity demand in about 10 minutes.
The earthquakes are mainly located in the three most volcanically active areas of the Canary Islands, namely the islands of Tenerife, El Hierro and La Palma. The latter remains a low-magnitude seismicity, much lower than that observed during the 2021 eruption. The Canary Islands are also characterized by moderate tectonic activity; therefore, some earthquakes have also been recorded along some active seismic faults such as the one between Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

Regarding ground deformation, no relevant changes were observed on any island over the last week. With respect to the emission of gases and excluding the areas of La Bombilla and Puerto Naos, where abnormal emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), continue to be recorded, the Canary Geochemical Network reflects that diffused emission values of volcanic gases Relatively higher are registered in Tenerife, where we already know that, from 2016, a process of pressurization of the volcanic-hydrothermal system is registered. We clarify that this process is normal in active volcanic systems and does not imply the possibility of a volcanic eruption in the short and medium term.

This weekly informative graphic is made thanks to the CANvolcano project, which is funded by the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Government of Canaria

Post-eruptive activity Old Summit, La Palma (09-03-2022, 09:00 UTC)

➡ For the last 7 days, since the last announcement (March 1 at 9:00 UTC), 64 earthquakes have been located on the island of La Palma. The magnitude is between 0.7 and 2.5 (mbLg). Three of these earthquakes have been weakly felt by the population, with maximum intensity of II (EMS98). The tracking of hippocenter continues under the central area of Cumbre Vieja, in the same areas as in previous weeks, at depths between 0 and 18 km. Only two earthquakes during this period, of magnitude 1.9 and 1.5 mbLg, have been located at the highest depth (24 and 30 km), respectively.

➡ The network of permanent GNSS stations of the island does not show significant deformations that can be associated with volcanic activity.
The IGN continues to monitor seismic activity and collect samples.
