Best El Hierro Thread On GLP - Canary Islands - ACTIVITY HAS RETURNED - AGAIN!

i rule nothing out. i had my eyes opened the other day, when a documentary i was watching illustrated an atom, and how the VAST majority of it, 99.9999999999999% of it, is empty space. My actual weight, being 95 KG, or thereabouts is actually about 0.0000001 of a gram of actual matter. Nuclei of atoms and their accompanying electrons etc

that to me only means ONE thing. we are projections. we MUST be! EVERYTHING is!

EVERYTHING is an illusion. So IF we are being played with like a god's private parts, maybe the strife in the world today IS causing all this tectonic shit? why not? it's good, for shits and giggles?

anyone have quake or deformation data for La Palma?

In't it cool! To be a part of this to bring the world into alignment with the Creator~! Either you "project" LOVE (light) or FEAR(dark,hate,etc.). We are supposed to be projecting LOVE. You know the dark and the light. I realize it is off topic, just thought it was cool info. Thanks!

Quieted down today...

Update 19/07 – 08:30 UTC

- NO earthquakes so far today
- The uplifting from PINA and FRON as reported yesterday and the day before yesterday has reversed into a strong decrease of approx. 0.5 to 1 cm
- The conclusion of the current non-events is that the new swarm episode seems to be completely over.

I know what you mean about the atom thing. I don't know if I saw the same documentary that you saw, but I did see one a couple years ago that was making the same point about the atom. It has messed with my mind since then. lol I mean if everything we think is solid mass, is actually much more empty space than solid material............wow...can surely change how you view things. Now as far as being projections....not ready to accept that. lol Ok, I'm done with that off-topic discussion now.

Good Morning

There is a little bit of action so far today...

Update 20/07 – 13:12 UTC

- Vertical deformations are increasing again at stations PINA and FRON. Very slight at FRON and appox. 1 cm at PINA


- 2 new earthquakes so far today :

01:02 Depth 20 km M 2.0 SW FRONTERA
00:06 Depth 19 km M 1.6 W FRONTERA

Update 21/07 – 15:56 UTC
- A M2.5 earthquake occurred at 09:10 at a depth f 23 km to the west of the lighthouse.

Update 21/07 – 09:15 UTC
- Nothing to report this morning except the CSIC seem to be in serious trouble as they can’t pay part of their contractors anymore. CSIC is a huge government agency with a workforce of 15000 people, among them a big number f scientists. The problems are probably due to the very severe financial problems of the Spanish government. We guess that’s also bad news for the regional agencies like Involcan and other subsidized agencies like IGN. Politicians and science has never been an easy marriage and budget cuts are mostly easily found in such scientific institutions.

Something is really interesting here...and is leading me to believe we may have an eruption coming from somewhere else than Hierro. This area where this quake hit today between Tenerife and Grand Canary is the filling station for the entire Canary archipelago. The magma seems to be feeding from this location and usually the quakes there are at 35-39k deep. But...recently, they've been MUCH shallower. THis one is just 11k, suggesting magma is making its way towards the sea floor in this area. Not good if this truly is the magma vent for the entire Canary Islands, feeding from the actual core of the earth...deep beneath the mantle with so much magma available it could make the Canary Islands become one single island by filling in all the sea water between them.

lol

now THAT would be doom on a truly epic scale!

Good morning.

Update 22/07 – 07:39 UTC
- At 01:51 this morning, a M1.9 earthquake occurred at a depth of 26 km at the westernmost tip of the island. This is the first earuption zone earthquake since a long time (swarm crisis included)
- No fundamental deformation changes this morning

And the friends of Hekla can marvel at the odd fact that tremor is remaining high, or even increasin after the wind stoped blowing.

At least the strain keeps in size or seems to be picking up now.

But that happend a few weeks ago without any impact to anything.

I though think that there was a quake a few hours ago that was eaten by the storm. But, I do not have any support for believing that more than a rather large harmonic spike around that time visible at MJO, HAU and SAU.

[link to volcanocafe.wordpress.com]

hmm, just found something interesting.

[link to pubs.usgs.gov]

using that link, scroll down to this image..

[link to pubs.usgs.gov]

now, notice what it says about that image on that link?

'Figure C5. Examples of spectrograms illustrating the distinctive signatures of high-frequency (HF) (volcano tectonic) earthquakes and harmonic tremor in the time-frequency domain. The abrupt, broadband nature of HF earthquakes produces horizontal bands spanning all frequencies while the comb-like spectrum and extended duration of harmonic tremor results in multiple vertical lines in the spectrogram.'

on that image, the harmonic tremor is vertical, but on THIS image..

[link to www.ign.es]

they're vertical, and going through the exact same frequency bands as on that example image.

they are strongest on that ign link above, of LA PALMA, and have been going on for months.

La Palma

have we been looking in the wrong place all along?

Posted some information related to this on my thread below:

Thread: DAY OF THE LORD APRIL 2015 ARMAGEDDON? THE BLOOD RED MOON PASSOVER TIME CODE (Page 6)

Good Morning All...

Yesterday was a fairly active day. Here are earthquake-report updates from yesterday and so far today.

Update 25/07 – 08:37 UTC
- The last earthquake of July 24 was recalculated as a M2.9 earthquake at a depth of 21 km. This quake was felt by the people of the island as a very weak shaking (MMI II).
- The 1 km depth earthquake is still in the IGN charts, which means that it was confirmed. We do not see however any shallow eruptive action at that location (El Golfo bay) as there were almost no other earthquakes in that area. The probable cause is the deformation stress.
- The first earthquake of today was a M1.8 quake at a depth of 18 km below the western part of the island
- Vertical deformations are up again at PINA and FRON stations

-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------

Update 24/07 – 22:43 UTC
- One of the more active days today. 4 earthquakes is already a while ago. The extremely shallow quake in the El Golfo bay has still to be confirmed by IGN (preliminary data). This earthquake is rather weak and similar shallow earthquakes during the strong swarm period were probably caused by deformation stresses.
21:17:49 Depth 19 km M 2.8 mbLg SW EL PINAR
20:11:37 Depth 1 km M 1.6 mbLg W FRONTERA
12:19:43 Depth 21 km M 1.9 mbLg SW FRONTERA
10:23:13 Depth 18 km M 1.7 mbLg W EL PINAR

[link to earthquake-report.com]

This 1km deep quake was actually accompanied by 4 other quakes under 5km deep, the strongest a 2.2, all of which have now been removed or edited except the 1km depth quake. Sorry for not bringing this up earlier...caught on a pointless GLP IP wide...everybody gets screwed...ban again. [link to http:]

Good Morning all.......

Hey there Idgits, How are you doing, man?

More activity...interesting......

Update 26/07 – 10:59 UTC

- 2 earthquakes so far today. Both hypocenters were at unusual depths (13 km for the M1.8 earthquake and 16 km for the M1.6 earthquake). Both epicenters were located in the old vent area in the Las Calmas sea. Another “to follow” evolution.
- The University of Nagoya’s deformation stats are showing a strong climb in Ultra Rapid vertical deformation at SABI (more than 1 cm). The other stations are stabilized.
- We do not know whether we are the only ones having trouble in reaching some data from the IGN website.
- The Atlantic Explorer (chartered by the ULPGC or in long words the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) is back in town and is doing some research in the Las Calmas sea (also in the Lighthouse area).

Photos

Update 25/07 – 15:39 UTC

- The island is wobbling again + a lot of shallow earthquakes (some were recalculated from yesterday). In order to give a good overview of the earthquakes from yesterday and today, we have recapitulated all these earthquakes. The least we can say is that what is happening is very curious. The epicenter of most of the earthquakes is still in the line of the lighthouse but the depths are peculiar. Are all these quakes from stress related deformations or is there more to tell ?. Scientists have the clues in their hands, but as far as we know have not yet communicated about it.
The 3 first shallow earthquakes occurred in a matter of only 2 minutes.
The recalculation of these quakes is making the El Golfo shallow quake with the coloring of the water less credible as all the shallow epicenters are below the island (close to the Orchilla or lighthouse)

Details.....

Hey Shenue. Thanks for continuing to post. I'm on vacation but happened to glance at Hierro's activity this morning. It's looking interesting again! How are you doin?

Hi Idgits. Hope you are enjoying your vacation!

From earthquake-report:

Update 26/07 – 21:59 UTC

- Well, well !!! The shallow quakes are gone again in the IGN list and are replaced with the single initial 1 km one. We have no other choice than reporting what IGN reports. As far as we could see, no word of apology and no explanatory words.
A total of 5 earthquakes today .
- The Tourism operators are happy that the ferry companies have introduced an almost daily Tenerife link (6 days on 7).

Chart included....

I don´t know what caused the fires on the rest of the islands but at La Palma it was 40+ degrees, hard wind and the driest year ever. You can imagine how quickly a sigaret in a very dry pinewood forest can cause a fire. I actually saw it happen, the first smoke.. I called but they already knew it but all helicopters were on Tenerife. Took an hour before they came with fire already huge. Pictures from out my house:

Good Morning.........

Update 27/07 – 15:18 UTC
- The first earthquake occurred at 14:12 UTC. It measured a depth of 20 km and a Magnitude of 2.1
- Vertical deformation of station SABI dropped again to the levels of the day before yesterday. On the other hand PINA shows a 1.5 cm climb today, a very strong deformation if the Ultra Rapid data are confirmed later on.
- Reader Roland reports that the Captain of the Atlantic Explorer, currently cruising the Las Calmas sea made a statement that magnetism values are very high, probably due the presence of a lot of iron the the moving magma below the sea bed.
- Image of the submarine volcano in La restinga captured by the probe of the Atlantic Explorer on July 27 during the campaign of the ULPGC – QSTAR Guayota.

Good Morning

Update 29/07 – 09:05 UTC
- No earthquakes so far today
- Deformations seem to be stabilized
- Reader Roland writes in the comment section that further cone depth analysis may result in only 84 meters instead of the 88 meters which was reported before. These 4 meters are important if a new earthquake crisis with eruption activity in the old vent would strike. The ULPGC will examine the Atlantic Explorer data early this week. Some are writing that the lesser depth have occurred the last couple of weeks (since the last Atlantic Explorer mission). Some are skeptical as there was no visible action in the Las Calmas sea and as no HT was noticed on the seismograms.

-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------

Update 28/07 – 23:55 UTC
- No earthquakes today
- Very few changes in vertical or horizontal deformation

Good Morning

earthquake report's take on things. I usually post a couple days' worth because sometimes the stats get changed.

Update 31/07 – 07:15 UTC
- A M2.7 earthquake at a depth of 20 km at 03:23 earlier today. Epicenter : western tip of the island.

Some more recent activity including a 3.2 at 48km deep North of the islnd of Tenerife. This is a new location for me...I've never seen one there before. [link to www.ign.es]

Well.......this is something I hadn't considered.

Update 07/08 – 10:21 UTC

An article in Diario El Hierro reports about some findings of the University of La Laguna. The professor indicates that eruption material from El Hierro is among the strongest eruption radioactive material known so far. (This report is in Spanish, so have a way to translate)

- Pevolca has changed the alertt level of the south western tip of the island again to green. It was changed into Yellow after the many strong earthquakes. Yellow is maintained at the vent in the Las Calmas sea.

Update 07/08 – 09:38 UTC

- 2 earthquakes so far today
01:18:53 Depth 10 km M 1.2 SW FRONTERA
05:20:31 Depth 20 km M 1.8 SW FRONTERA
