The close ups look good here currently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVeQJiVPLTU 

Lots of talk on social media about the possible Atlantic megatsunami that the scientists say could happen if the island was to split and cause a landslide into the ocean. Very low risk though.

Excellent footage though. Off the top of my head it's the first time I've known one of the Canary volcanoes to erupt. Funnily enough I was thinking of when I visited Teide on Tenerife about 15 years ago earlier on...

Thanks 😊

Another good close up of the fountains..

Looking very impressive now it's dark..

Going on the live feed it would appear buildings are now burning as a result of the extensive lava flow

It was a brilliant Horizon programme about the risk. If you like 'disaster porn' then it was great viewing 

Fortunately - or unfortunately if you prefer - the thesis has been debunked. Firstly, the chance of a huge chunk of La Palma sliding into the ocean is miniscule. Secondly, even if it did the resulting wave wouldn't be anything like the size the thesis claimed, and would largely dissipate before reaching the Americas.

Sod's Law - our daughter and husband book their first holiday abroad for 2 years and a volcano blows up just where they've arranged to go!

AFAIK tsunamis only dissipate slowly in deep water. Maybe nothing as high as the 50m claimed in the second link but for comparison, Somalia received 4m high tsunami waves from the Sumatran earthquake 2800 miles away. That sort of size will still do nothing for prices of Miami real estate

That's terrible luck. Hope she can change to somewhere else.

I was just reading that inflation is actually stable rather than increasing.. slowly decreasing according to this..

https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/lapalma/sep2021seismic-crisis/current-activity.html?refresh 

 Edit: that same website also mentioning increasing inflation (as you say)so contradictory in its reporting. 

”There are concerns that the eruption is still far from stable and yet more vents, possibly further north could open up. Inflation has been continuing and reached 30 cm in places, sign that magma is still pressurizing and accumulating underground.”

It was around 16cm yesterday morning. That is a massive amount of inflation and shows that magma is accumulating at a much faster rate than it is currently being released. Any inflation is bad news during an eruption.

Yes I edited post above.. I've just read the update saying the above :) 

Here is a direct link to the deformation data (although I think there may be more up to date or frequently updated) information available: http://www.ign.es/web/resources/volcanologia/GPS/jpg/PA_GPS_LP03_90d.png 

I suspect there are a few twists and events to come in the near future.

I think once again the video footage will look impressive when the sun goes down. Sadly it is inevitable more houses will be destroyed.

Is this an the new vent that opened last night? 

Maybe another vent or two more will open in the coming days. Not great for those who live in the path of any lava flows, but nothing violent eruption wise.

The lava field from the La Palma eruption as of 20th September can be seen here:

Looks like a fairly narrow band, but eventually there will be no route between the north west and south west of the island without going all the way around the other side.

It turns out that it's cancellable at short notice - and they're actually looking for a helicopter flight over the eruption to augment their holiday

THey (daughter & husband) are'nt going until end Nov so hoping tourism will have re-started by then
