A volcano Erupting lava in the Canary Islands for nearly three months It has been quiet, but scientists warn that calm does not necessarily mean that the volcanic eruption is over.
The Institute of Volcanology of the Canary Islands said on Twitter that since Monday night, experts have not recorded seismic activity on the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma.
“This does not mean that volcanic eruptions are over, because in the past, there will be new surges in volcanic activity,” Involcan said. “This is the longest time since the eruption started without an earthquake.”
Volcanologist Rubén López said that this volcano, which first erupted on September 19, had very little activity. “Hope it will stay in this state, we can start thinking about ending this matter,” he told Spanish public broadcaster RTVE.
The longest eruption in La Palma’s history destroyed approximately 3,000 local buildings, buried large tracts of farmland in lava, and forced thousands of people to abandon their homes.
There are about 80,000 people on the island, and no casualties are directly related to the volcanic eruption. Life in most areas of La Palma is basically going on as usual, and parts of the southwest have been the hardest hit.
The Canary Islands are a popular European holiday destination off the northwest coast of Africa.
