Yes, there have been a few sizeable lava “breakouts” today and the seismic activity is also continuing at depth indicating (I believe) that the eruption is unlikely to finish in the very near future. |

An interesting update: https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/la-palma/news/144005/La-Palma-volcano-eruption-update-high-lava-effusion-rates-new-lava-arm-at-the-sea-speculation-about-.html
Seismic activity shows worrying signs
According to a post of a geoscience page VolcanesyScienciaHoy on facebook based in Tenerife, the current seismic activity points towards that more magma is moving upwards, as indicated by 3 factors:
- several earthquakes appeared at depths less than 7-8-9 km;
- after the 4.2 quake two days ago, there have been episodes of spasmodic tremor with many earthquakes in a row that indicate movement of magma in depth;
- since yesterday, the appearance of strong volcanic tremor at around 18 Hz frequency thought to be caused by depressurization of fluids at great depth around 10 km;
If these interpretations hold, there should soon be noticeable ground uplift visible in the GPS stations (which, so far, is not the case). What will next happen, when this new magma pulse reaches the surface, is unknown. |

Our daughter and husband's proposed holiday on La Palma in 2nd week of December has now been cancelled by TUI , so TUI is expecting the eruption to continue. They're allowing a later free re-book to another Canary Island of choice. |

They're allowing a later free re-book to another Canary Island of choice. We went on our recent cruise with TUI and on our way from the Canaries to the Caribbean, we did a detour to see the La Palma volcano. It was a most amazing experience! The lava flow is alarmingly close to towns and there’s a large cloud of ash and smoke over the whole island. Would love to post pictures but don’t have the means. |

The La Palma eruption is still going strong with a new vent, and lava flows, opening up yesterday. The current view is impressive: https://youtu.be/ndy422chyW8 |

Hi Caz, have you tried using the ‘+’ button, which allows you to upload photos? |
