seismic activity ceases at la palma volcano

Seismic activity at the La Palma Cumbre Veja volcano ceased on Monday around 9 p.m. local time, the Canary Islands Institute of Volcanology (INVOLCAN) said. However, it was stated that the explosion was not over. “Ejection activity has declined to the point where it is almost non-existent. The lava flow continues, but at a very low rate ” said Miguel Angel Morcuende, Director of the Canary Islands Volcanic Contingency Plan (Pevolca) Response Committee.

Before declaring the eruption officially over, scientists will wait at least 48 hours with no seismic activity or explosions.
