Earthquake swarm triggers volcano alert on Spain's La Palma
MADRID, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Authorities on the Spanish Canary Island of La Palma have warned that a sudden increase in seismic activity could herald a volcanic eruption in the coming days or weeks.
Spain's National Geographic Institute has detected 4,222 tremors in a so-called "earthquake swarm" in the Cumbre Vieja national park, around the Teneguia volcano in the far south of the island.
As the quakes intensified and moved closer to the surface, the Canary Island's regional government on Tuesday put the island on a yellow alert for an eruption, the second of a four-level alert system.
It said on Thursday there was no clear evidence for an immediate eruption, though warned the situation could evolve rapidly.
"More intense earthquakes are expected in the coming days," it said in a statement.
More than 11 million cubic metres (388 million cubic feet)of magma have seeped into Cumbre Vieja in recent days, swelling the peak by around 6 centimetres, the Volcanic Institute of the Canaries said on Thursday.
Rising sharply out of the Atlantic around 100 kilometres to the west of southern Morocco, the Canary Islands are home to Spain's most active and best known volcanoes, including Teide in Tenerife and Timanfaya in Lanzarote.
Teneguia last erupted in 1971 - the last surface eruption to occur in Spain - while a volcano off the tiny island of El Hierro erupted underwater in 2011.

Remembering the expert opinions of Hervé on the “tirelessly” thread (aka amzer zo), happy times.

Volcano erupts on La Palma in Spanish Canary Islands
September 19, 20214:00 PM IST
LA PALMA, Spain, Sept 19 (Reuters) - A volcano erupted on the Spanish Canary Island of La Palma on Sunday, sending a plume of smoke and ash into the air from the Cumbre Vieja national park in the south of the island.
Authorities had already begun evacuating the infirm and some farm animals from the surrounding villages before the eruption, which took place in the Cabeza de Vaca in El Paso at 3:15 p.m. (1415 GMT), according to the Canary Islands government.
There had been more than 22,000 tremors this week in the area, one of the most active volcanoes in the Canary Islands.
Soldiers were deployed to help with the evacuation, the defence ministry said, and it is expected that more residents will be evacuated from surrounding towns.
Ahead of the eruption, scientists had recorded a series of earthquakes reaching 3.8 magnitude in the national park , according to the Spanish National Geographical Institute (ING).
The earliest recorded volcanic eruption in La Palma took place in 1430, according to the ING. In the last eruption in 1971, one man was killed when he took photographs near the lava flows but no property was damaged.

Re: Earthquake Swarm Cumbre Vieja, La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain.
I've notice this evening there's quite a bit of nervous chat on social media, and especially so on Twitter -that there's tweets of 'Tsunami' and the 'East Coast'. Sincerely hope it's all just false alarms.
