2) “The Volcanological Institute of #Canarias (#Involcan ) has confirmed the opening of a new #foco emission in the fracture generated by the eruption of the volcano of #LaPalma . It joins the two new mouths that emerged at dawn yesterday Friday.”

3) “The European ground observation system #Copernicus calculates, in its latest update, that the area covered by lava in #LaPalma is already 367.3 hectares. So far the lava has destroyed 880 buildings.”

5) “The area occupied by the #ceniza of the #volcán from #LaPalma it rises to 3,304 hectares. This is stated in the latest update of the European terrestrial monitoring satellite system #Copernicus , with data collected on the afternoon of this Friday.”
6) “Seismicity intensifies in the center of the island according to the volcanic surveillance network of @IGN_Sismologia
@IGNSpain Mag.max. 3.9. New felt earthquakes are not ruled out.”

7) “Widely felt earthquake. This has been perceived according to reports from the @IGNSpain . They have dropped to 3.2 the initial magnitude.”
8) “New fireplace on north slope.”

9) 📌 “This Saturday and Sunday from 4:00 p.m. it will be broadcast @fueradeplanotv with everything that happens on the island of La Palma, as well as with an analysis of the data.

⌚️ 16.00 hours
🗓️ today and tomorrow Sunday.”
10) “Much is being said about how that area of #LaPalma , which has been affected by the eruption, when the volcano's activity ends. Today we return to the past to remember that throughout history the volcanoes in #Canarias sometimes they were an impulse.”
11) “The #comunidadcientífica insists that the population should follow the recommendations for wearing a mask or glasses to be on the street. Its effects on the body may take time to appear. We saw it in the #tn1 of this Saturday.” #VolcanLaPalma
12) Summary press conference 14.00 #PEVOLCA
M. Morcuende (Dtor. Pevolca)
1095 houses affected.
201 people evicted at Hotel Princess in Fuencaliente.
Rakage of the El Remo risk pipe.
Thermal inversion of the air acted as a cover and pressed the polluted air.
13) Therefore, confinement was recommended yesterday.
The current seismicity should not lead to suppose other scenarios. It is compatible with the volcanic process of the eruption.
14) Carmen López (IGN)
 Effusive eruption continues. Combines explosive & effusive activity (emission of lavas).
Several emission centers w/i the crater.
Fajana 27.5 hectares of surface.
Marine ridge should be avoided & monitored in case it moves gases to populations.
15) Field of fumaroles on the north slope persists. This morning a new gas stack was observed on that slope.
4.5km of eruptive column.
I could take fine ashes to El Hierro.
16)  Seismicity coincides with the area where the process began. Mag.max. 3.6 There may be earthquakes felt.
Deformation descends vertically but remains stable horizontally.
3330 tons of sulfur dioxide per day.
1870 tons of C02 per day.
17) La Palma 🌋 still active this morning, as noted 👇🏾
18) Fascinating tidbit on gravity waves.
19) Another gravity wave tidbit.
20) Increase of explosive activity in the last few hours.
21) Carmen López, national responsible for volcanic surveillance of the #IGN , has pointed out that the eruption
in #LaPalma it continues to show the same strombolian mechanism, alternating explosive and effusive phases, and also with simultaneous activity of both styles.
22) Before and after the eruptive point opened yesterday at 400m from the main cone.
23) Local resident’s observation of events.
24) PT - [13:22 h UTC+1] As if we didn't have enough on #LaPalma already:

Attention, we have another problem today:
Weather values in El Paso as of now:

34°C / 93.2 F
12% rel. humidity
37 km/h wind gusts (20kn)

resulting in *very high risk of forest fires!*
25) INVOLCAN continues to measure diffuse carbon dioxide emission and taking gas samples from the ground during the eruption.
26) The fissure eruption continues to show the same strombolian mechanism, alternating explosive and effusive phases, according to the #Pevolca

You can follow the evolution of the #volcanLaPalma on our social networks and web
27) In the last hours@ the explosive activity of the volcano has increased and the highest volcanic tremor of the last seven days has been recorded.
28) Samples taken from front of lava flow.
29) Balance of the situation in #LaPalma
📍 This afternoon explosive activity intensified.
📍 On #Tazacorte , the fajana has grown almost 28 hectares and the lava affects the Playa de Los Guirres.
📍 The population is no longer confined due to the decrease in gases.

“10h46 |🔴 In the last hours a series of earthquakes of magnitude greater than 3.0 mbLg have been happening in Fuencaliente and Villa de Mazo….”
2) “ #Fajana is the last term that we have introduced in our usual language to designate the delta arising from the #ErupcionLaPalma ….”

A fajana is generally cultivated small area, located at the edge of the sea , formed by material detached from cliffs or by lava deltas.

1) La Palma volcano thread for October 3.
2) Eruption continues at impressive intensity. Lava output rate remains very high, volcanic tremor is stable at high levels. New lava flow from vents just below NW base of erupting cone, slowly wind thru land N of existing flow field, destroying more buildings & infrastructure.
3) ➡ Dawn is the fifteenth day of the eruption.

➡ There have been no personal injuries and we are already working on the recovery of the areas of influence of the flows.

➡ The volcano continues to evolve within the parameters predicted by scientists.
