La Palma volcano (Canary Islands): strong seismic swarm suggests magma intruding at depth
The strong earthquake swarm is continuing beneath Cumbre Vieja, and now PEVOLCA has raised the alert level to Yellow, citing the repeated occurance of earthquake swarms since 2017, with this one being the strongest and also the shallowest, suggesting magma is slowly rising into the edifice. Measurements of Helium-3 gas flux are also indicating this.
La Palma volcano (Canary Islands (Spain) activity update: Yellow alert for Cumbre Vieja declared
A strong earthquake swarm started under the area of La Cumbre Vieja volcano in the southern part of the Island yesterday. So far, more than 350 tremors have been detected, including 14 quakes of magnitudes above 3.0 and 226 quakes between 2.0 and 2.9.

9/17/21 – An odd summer’s end
Here’s the report from the National Snow and Ice Data center on the Arctic sea ice.
“As of September 15, Arctic sea ice extent stood at 4.73 million square kilometers (1.83 million square miles), placing it tenth lowest in the satellite record for the date. While extent continues to decline as of this post, the seasonal minimum is likely to occur soon, depending on how much heat remains in the upper ocean and on winds, which can compact the ice cover or spread it out. If the winds push the ice poleward, this may further reduce the total extent. Nevertheless, the seasonal minimum extent promises to be one of the highest of the past decade—only 2013, 2014, and 2018 are currently tracking above the 2021 sea ice extent.”

The lava flows already crossed the Tacande highway at around 5.30 pm, making the passage of vehicles impractical. La Palma airport has also been closed during the first hours after the eruption, as ash plumes hindered visibility, but later resumed its operations as the ash emissions decreased again.
The alert status of the volcano was raised orange (3 out of 4), and the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Government of the Canary Islands activated the level 2 emergency situation (red traffic light), in application of the Volcanic Risk Plan (Pevolca).

As suspected as a possible scenario earlier, the eruption continues to evolve as a new fissure opened around 9 p.m. local time in the area of Tacande, in the municipality of El Paso. It seems to be approx. 1 km west of the original vents.
The opening of the new eruptive fissure was followed by a relatively strong magnitude 3.8 quake at 9.32 p.m., widely felt by people in Los Llanos de Aridane, Breña Baja, Tazacorte, El Paso, Breña Alta, Fuenca.

It will probably become clearer in the next hours what is happening.

9/22/21 – Arctic sea ice has reached minimum extent for 2021
Arctic sea ice has likely reached its minimum extent for the year, at 4.72 million square kilometers (1.82 million square miles) on September 16, 2021, according to scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder. The 2021 minimum is the twelfth lowest in the nearly 43-year satellite record. The last 15 years are the lowest 15 sea ice extents in the satellite record.

9/22/21 – La Palma volcano update: New vent opens, Tacande village evacuated
Activity continued to increase overall. During the course of the morning, two more fissures opened, one close to the original ones and another one further north of the existing vents, southeast of Tacande village, which was evacuated soon after. The opening of the vent followed rapid ground inflation in this area of 15 cm, according to unconfirmed information.
Most activity now seems to occur from the Tacande vent. It is well visible from the highway LP3 when going west after exiting the tunnel and attracts many tourists and locals alike to watch. Already, an elongated cinder cone has formed around it, and continuous lava fountains have been rising to approx. 2-300 m or more in height, producing a steam and ash plume that was rising approx. 2000 m and visible when we approached the island by airplane.
Our local correspondents who helped in recovery operations to save household items from threatened homes down from the active lava flow fronts, reported heavy ash fall in the downwind areas to the SW.
The lava flow fronts, often exceeding 10 m in height, slowed down further today but continue to widen; the largest one remains in the center of Todoque where more houses have fallen victim to the lava.
In total, the eruption has destroyed more than 320 homes and covered over 140 hectares of land by lava flows so far.

9/26/21 – Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption, La Palma, activity update and field report: western portion of crater collapsed
The eruption continues at fluctuating intensity and with significant changes at the morphology of the new crater:
During the course of yesterday, a significant portion of the western flank of the cone collapsed, likely during a series of rockfalls, leaving a narrow horse-show shaped breach, thus lowering the main vent, which continued to produce violent pulsating lava fountains at fluctuating intensity.
During periods, the jets of lava likely surpassed 500 m in height with individual bombs reaching perhaps up to around 1000 m in height. Jets usually were more or less vertical, but sometimes also oblique to the west, suggesting the presence of at least two closely-spaced vents.
The lava flow from the effusive vent on the NW flank of the cone seemed to almost cease during the evening, but later resumed, creating a new flow in the same channel. This lava flow was still active by the time we left the scene at around 10 a.m.

According to the national TV station RTVE, eruptive resumed later this morning with emissions of steam and ash, although we cannot confirm this. Live cameras show little activity so far and tremor remains very low at the time of this update. A friend near the eruptive site this morning could not see any activity at the vents.
Yesterday, the lava had formed a new, narrower lobe emerging from the broad main front (coming from the main source, corresponding to the original flows), that had advanced at fast pace of about 100 m per hour eastwards. At the same time, the lava flow from the secondary fissure vent at the NW base of the cone continued to form its own flow, which had been advancing along the northern margin of the main flow at approx. 30 meters per hour.
The main flow had passed village of Todoque and destroyed the church of San Pio X, and was located only about 1.6 km from the sea. As a precaution to an expected sea entry in the near future, authorities ordered curfew for the localities of San Borondón, Marina Alta, Marina Baja and La Condesa, where people were not allowed to leave their homes and should keep windows and doors closed.
SO far, lava flows have destroyed more than 450 buildings and covered an area of 212.1 hectares.
The situation is clearly evolving and we will post updates later when returning from the field.

9/27/21 – La Palma volcano update: Intermittent ash emissions
Activity is picking up again. The volcano has been producing intermittent explosions with ash emissions from the new cone, at intervals of roughly every 10 minutes.

9/29/21 – La Palma volcano, Canary Islands: lava flows enter Atlantic ocean
Late last night, the lava flow reached the sea.
As the eruption continues to effuse lava at steady rate, the most advanced lava flow made rapid advance it seems during yesterday. It looks that it traveled approx. 1 km, passing north of the cinder cone of Montana Todoque to arrive and descend at the sea cliff at Playa Nueva.
The nearby coastal areas have been evacuated as the sea entry can generate acid clouds of hot steam and there is always risk of collapse of the material at the newly formed lava beach bench.
