I personally have put probably 10,000 hours into the old thread.  Others, combined, is probably close to a million hours.  Time spent researching, checking, editing, verifying, etc.  It is a solid thread, it's just time to leave the old eruption and focus on this newest phase of activity.  It is aggressively powerful and it's the 4th since the eruption.  Each time we see new magma intrusions, new variations in the deformation and new elements of concern.  The most recent activity also remains fairly focused and centralized verses the old eruptive phase the quakes were literally all over the map.

Shame that you invested so much time into non-event.

All is very god here, in Canary Islands.

Look, BS-Tard, I am still here, and all is really fine: holiday makers, the sun, the ocean, 1000 times less tremors than in cali. The only issue is... the rains, not enough rain this year. THAT IS IT.

Your opinion is welcome...however, you should know...if you're truly from the Canaries...the island is full of tension and anxiety.  The avcan facebook page has demonstrated that as well as Joke Volta's posts.  The government has issued a pre-alert and IGN is calling for more studies on this newly started swarm.  The past 7 days California had right at 300 tremors...and we're roughly 1,529 times the size of Hierro.  Hierro had 180 in one day.  So yeah...when that little island is having 4 times as many quakes as California in a day, AND all in a very small area (about 10 square miles verses California's 165,000 square mile area), AND they have the potential to unleash volcanic activity...you better believe it's something of interest.

Original Message I am the former user "Idgits". About 100 consistent followers and contributors and I created the most informative thread on El Hierro and the Canary Islands archipelago that GLP has ever seen. Thread: Best El Hierro Thread On GLP - Canary Islands - ACTIVITY HAS RETURNED - AGAIN! I have since deleted the account that I was using to start that thread, thus the reason it says "AC" now as the original poster.

During the course of that thread I removed all of the "Hi's" and "How are you's" and "bump's" until about page 500...which condensed the thread down to around 280 pages. It has since continued to grow and has become a true source of facts surrounding the earthquake swarm and eventual eruption that took place last year, ending early this year.

Since that eruption officially ended, Hierro has shot back into action several times. I believe we are on the 4th major swarm of activity that has occurred since the eruptive phase ended. It has been recommended by one of our most consistent and well informed users "Shenue" as well as others, to start a new thread to showcase the newest events occuring in Hierro. The previous eruption was incredible, teaching science a whole new concept and understanding of underwater eruptions. It also produced the most radioactive lava ever recorded.

The most incredible feat of Hierro though, is how much pressure it is capable of maintaining WITHOUT erupting. In the last swarm we saw such an incredible increase in pressure that any other geologic formation would've theoretically blown sky high. But not Hierro...it's always maintained it's strength. The current combined energy under Hierro from both magma flow and seismic energy released is basically unknown as IGN stopped recording all the joules together...they stopped the eruptive phase recording in May of this year...here is that chart [link to www.01.ign.es]

So...this new thread is to pick up where Hierro has brought us now. I need to be able to change the thread title as events occur and be able to alert people with that title in case something serious occurs. In addition, there is SO MUCH information in that past thread that it's difficult for new users and followers to sift through to the most recent activities. Below I have comprised a list of information and links relative to the old thread. It's information that took us a year plus to gather!
