"Diving for the epicenter

If anything stands out things El Hierro is the quality of its seabed. The port of La Restinga, south of the island is the hub of sporting activity each year brings thousands of tourists and supporting an industry that has become a staple for the El Hierro. But the fact that the epicenter of most of the earthquakes that have occurred in recent days is the so-called Sea of calms and deemed that the volcanic eruption likely to develop in this protected area, has done much damage to those living in the sport.


One is Iñaki Cayon, owner of the dive center El Hierro, the oldest of the island, and which has seen in recent days has received "16 cancellations from people who are going to go diving, but seeing the TV news have been scared and decided to stay home. I think it has generated a disproportionate public alarm and creating a mess that does not fit with what is really happening ", he snapped as he walked with Iñaki your boat into the sea of ​​calmness, diving area for excellence in the island of El iron. "Let's go to the epicenter," exclaimed one of eight divers arrived from Barcelona, Zaragoza and the Basque Country, which challenged the initial fear get in the water right in the place where earthquakes have been more persistent. But after nearly an hour of immersion, these athletes left the water with a smile from ear to ear to have enjoyed "a luxury funds and over with the gift of feeling the occasional undersea quake," explained Iñaki Cayon."

"We are more confident''that the epicenter of a possible eruption at sea''


"According Alpidio Arms,''now the magma is located in the Sea of ​​Calm, outward, and is becoming further and deeper.''
The archaeological treasure of El Julan, endangered by the risk of a possible volcanic eruption."



"SERGIO GUTIERREZ, DiarioElHierro.es, Valverde (10.02.2011. 19:03 pm)

The president of the Cabildo de El Hierro, Alpidio Armas, Saturday was more optimistic about the earthquakes and that "we are increasingly confident that the epicenter of a possible volcanic eruption at sea, which does not represent danger to people, "he said.

Armas made ​​the remarks during a visit with the press Tacorón area, closest to the epicenter of the seismic activity.

According Alpidio Arms, "now the magma is located in the Sea of ​​Calm, outward, and is becoming further and deeper," he said.

THE Julan IN DANGER

On the other hand, the president of the Cabildo El Hierro, reported that the insular institution bring to the island, "ASAP," a team recording three-dimensional images to film prints of the pre-Hispanic Julan, given the risk that are totally or partially destroyed by a possible volcanic eruption in the area where they are located, called the Calm Sea, where are the epicenters of all earthquakes in recent days.

"Both of the prints as on the giant lizards have asked a technical report to specialists, and have said that no Aboriginal heritage or physical ability to protect human collateral, it would be a very important media delivery, but we can write images, so that if they suffer damage ashes were and know how to play "the president said Hierro."

A period of adjustment, just as the doctor ordered.

However, that does bring up the problem of a possible Tsunami. I wasn't thinking about that. In the best case scenerio, a plain old volcanic erruption would be called for. A crack in the earth's surface where the lava could escape under the sea.
