- This is without any doubt one of the most powerful earthquake sessions since the start of the eruptive process at El Hierro. Readers will be surprised about the number of very powerful events when they are listed by IGN.
Luckily for El Hierro everything is happening out in the sea at a depth of +1500 meter. A volcano has however NO guarantee at all that the action will stay in that area. The same happened during the eruption in 2011 when the magma vent was located in a totally different area than the earthquake epicenters. This was however an exception.
