VOLCANO

El Hierro Volcano Eruption

Update 19/10 – 15:47 UTC The total number of earthquakes has increased to 7  in about 2 hours time. The 3 additional earthquakes had values of 1.8, and 2 times 1.5.  Another important element to notice is that we noticed today 2 shallower earthquakes, respectively 7.9 and 9.6 km deep. This did not happen anymore since October 10.
The initial shallow quakes started on October 9 and ended on October 10 and were often only a few 100 meter deep, typical for volcanic earthquakes.Harmonic tremors were almost constant all day long.To conclude, we are far away from the October 9 / 10 conditions, but earthquakes are not over yet.
