La Palma - Canary & Azores Island Updates

"If, and this is maybe a likely scenario, most of the gasses have already left the system or if the remaining gasses can separate efficiently from the liquid (magma), and rise and degas at the vents and through the surface, the magma will slowly start cooling down and eventually crystallize over a very long period of time.
It is also very much possible that the current pause of the eruption leads to a blockage of the upper conduits, which disables the degassing process and generates conditions that could lead to sudden explosions and allowing probably smaller batches of remaining magma to erupt in short phases of re-activation.
Nobody knows for now - the situation remains volatile and care should be taken to make any predictions of whether activity will resume or not."

Thank you for starting a new thread!

Thanks from me too, Para.

I don't know what's going to happen with this yet, but I just have a feeling.

"The eruption response committee said that in order to confirm that the eruption is finally over, "the recorded and observable data must remain at current levels for 10 days".

"The best thing to do is not to give false hopes, for example in the 1949 eruption it stopped for several days, and several days later it got reactivated," geologist Eumenio Ancoechea told Reuters. "

Same here. I'm sorry I haven't had time to help out lately. Between the weather around here and everything else in real life, I've been hopping. I DO try to check in to the thread every day. I know that's not much help. I'm hoping things will settle down soon.

I think it's interesting that so many of these smaller quakes are traveling north.

I've been wondering this too. These earthquakes northwest of the volcano are very shallow. Between 1 & 4 Km depth.
Could a new vent open up here?

Thank you Para, will be following your updates!

Thank you Para, I just found where you started this from MP thread. I’m glad you starting one!

I'll be keeping an eye on it!

Bump, ex-W.Poole (Mr. P did great all through the T-C debacle, whew). Carry on!

Hi!

Still more deep quakes. Very curious what's happening under there!

Look at the history of krakatoa. It stopped erupting. Then it exploded into the history books. This is actually the time to be worried. Don't lose your focus yet.

66 hours and counting of all quiet on the mountain (since 9pm Dec 13th)
