In the last 24 hours, the soil of La Palma has risen 10 centimeters and has created a deformation towards the south at the station closest to the eruptive centers of the 'Cumbre Vieja' volcano, which has been erupting for more than a month. This has been communicated by the National Geographic Institute (IGN) after the analysis of the geodetic network of stations installed on La Palma.
For the moment, the situation continues at medium-high levels in terms of volcanic tremor, with intensification pulses; The sulfur dioxide dispersion cloud from the volcano now reaches 3,800 meters in height (according to the Department of Homeland Security) and there have been 184 earthquakes in the affected area in the last 24 hours due to the volcanic reactivation of Cumbre Vieja. Most tremors have a magnitude equal to or greater than 3.
The increase in seismicity has caused a new rupture of the cone that has caused new lava overflows and landslides, as well as a reconfiguration of the main cone, causing a large amount of lava to flow westward, over the original stream. .
