Second Volcanic Eruption at Canary Islands
Mitch Battros - Earth Changes
A second volcanic eruption off the coast of the island of El Hierro could be on the point of happening, scientists warned. The offshore eruption began at a depth of over 100 meters below sea level off the southern coast of El Hierro, the smallest and most westerly of the Canary Islands, a group of islands off the western coast of Africa, which are governed by Spain.
Although the first eruption died down and seismic activity began to fade, it has gained momentum again in recent days with El Hierro suffering over 120 earth tremors with the strongest reaching 3.9 on the Richter scale on Sunday.
Experts have met with government members of the Canary Islands to discuss the new developments. Although no new measures will be taken for the moment to evacuate the population from areas closest to a possible eruption site, the authorities will maintain their close observation of the area.
