El Hierro, Living in the Shadow of A Volcano

El Hierro wakes up without Seismic Activity

2011-11-30T12:02:00.000+00:00

The island of El Hierro has dawned on Wednesday without recording a single earthquake, after finding a decrease in the number of earthquakes in recent days.

Thus, the National Geographic Institute (IGN) has not registered for the moment, any seismic shift from 17:16 pm yesterday, Tuesday, 29. However, we should expect the updates to the website IGN.

Meanwhile on Tuesday, El Hierro A total of six earthquakes in the island of El Hierro, one of 3.2 magnitude on the Richter scale and intensity scale EMS II.

The quakes have ranged between 1.9 and 3.2 magnitude on the Richter scale and occurred between 15 and 22 kilometers deep.

The Sarmiento de Gamboa research vessel begins a campaign of research in El Hierro, under the Civil Protection Plan for Volcanic Risk (PEVOLCA), consisting of the geophysical survey of the seabed, both north of El Golfo, and in the area submarine eruption near the south of La Restinga.

This vessel, involving the Geological Survey, Marine Technology Unit of the CSIC, the Spanish Institute of Oceanography and the Navy Hydrographic Institute, measurements of gravity, seismic profiles (refraction and reflection) and bathymetry.

The Sarmiento de Gamboa will be in El Hierro for two days, before starting a research campaign on the continental shelf of the islands.

Evolution of eruptive phenomenon

The National Geographic Institute (IGN) has confirmed on their part to PEVOLCA during yesterday 23 earthquakes were located, none of them felt by the population, which stood mostly at depths between 15-24 km at sea, in the area of El Golfo. The maximum magnitude of 2.9 has been registered on the Richter scale.

The amplitude of the tremor signal showed several periods of sharp decrease of the amplitude for a few minutes between 1:00 and 4:00 am and between 20:30 and 22:00. The rest of the day has remained stable, stopping the slight upward trend observed during the previous day. It is confirmed that the analysis of the data is not evidence of a second source of tremor.

As for the deformation in the horizontal components remains stable trend of the previous days. With respect to the vertical components, the GPS stations continue to show a trend of deflation, including stations located east of El Golfo, the stations west of El Golfo seem to point to a stability in this component.

After the appearance of fragments of lava during the day on Sunday, none was observed yesterday but a large brown colored spot. In an inspection Salvage emission over the area it was found abundant emission measured at pH 5.71 in water. In the night flight was a SASEMAR temperature of 20.3 º C in the area and not much activity was detected compared to previous days.

CO2 emissions in El Hierro are seven times higher than normal

The diffuse emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Submarine Volcanoin the Sea of Calms continues to increase and reached a value seven times the normal average of issuance, according to data compiled by the Institute of the Canary Islands volcanological.

According to these data, the diffuse emission of CO2 by the volcano island has now reached the 2398 ± 115 tons a day when normal values are 345 tons per day.

Scientists at the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), an agency of the Cabildo of Tenerife and is part of Involcan, have been made since the crisis began on seismic and volcanic island on numerous scientific surveys of volcanic gases diffuse emissions that have materialized over the entire surface of the island.

To date, according to a note of Involcan, the results reflect the record of an upward trend of the diffuse emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere by the volcano island of El Hierro.

Scientists explained in the note that this increase in the diffuse emission of carbon dioxide reflects the pressure of this component in magmatic-hydrothermal system existing in the island of El increases due to the movement of magma from deep positions to shallower favoring exsolution of carbon dioxide dissolved in the magma.

Diffuse emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere contribute to the analysis of the evolution of the volcanic eruption being recorded on the island as the gases are the driving force of volcanic eruptions.

Carbon dioxide is the second major component of volcanic gases after water vapor and its low solubility in molten silicitados (magma) favors this gas to escape with their ease of volcanic systems in depth.

These scientific surveys conducted by Involcan have been possible thanks to MAKAVOL project "Capacity Building of R + D + i + d to contribute to the reduction of volcanic risk in the Macaronesia", funded by the European Union, with the collaboration of the cabildo of Tenerife and El Hierro.

La Frontera has treated 75 people at risk of social exclusion so far this year

2011-11-28T22:16:00.000+00:00

Social services in the municipality of La Frontera, have increased this year the number of users compared to 2010, an increase occurred in the first place, by the economic crisis which has greatly affected the economy of the municipalities of the island, and generated an increase in the unemployment rate in this city of 10 percent.

In 2010, social services, of City of La Frontera treated about 66 people at risk of social exclusion in the current year (2011) has already been treated to 75 users, who access the various aids available to the social services department of the City as rent subsidies, medicine, food, school supplies, etc.

Speaking to DIARIO EL HIERRO, Marisol Quintero Darias, Councillor of Social Services City of La Frontera, explained that since the city council is intended to meet all needs and requests from users of the town, "although the budget of the institution in this particularly although it has been increasing year after year is reduced, "he said.

Quintero said the social services department of the City of La Frontera has an annual budget of 24,000 euros, "which is administered with caution to alleviate the plight of the needy in the town".

It would also informed that in the last years several campaigns have been undertaken by the City of La Frontera, such as collecting food of solidarity, "which has been widely accepted by the citizens of the municipality and that helped even more manage the budget of the session devoted to this purpose, "he said.

The council insisted that the Council works "in a relentless and in combination with other entities such as Red Cross to provide the best service to users of the town", a network that has 2 social workers who try to detect cases of families at risk social exclusion in all strata of society, and focuses on the detection of cases where there are disabled, elderly and children.

Despite cuts in the emerging area of social services, such as the Fecam that has cut the 24,000 euros last year arranged for this purpose, the City of La Frontera continues to provide, to the extent of its possibilities, aid to most in need of the municipality, a number of users could increase given the grave economic situation the city, declared in social and economic emergency after the seismic crisis that crosses the island Island.

The Pevolca allow the return home of all evacuees

The direction of the Civil Protection Plan for Volcanic Risk (PEVOLCA) today authorized the return home of all the neighbors who remained evacuated in the area of Las Puntas and the Pozo de Las Calcosas and the opening of the Eco-museum and El Lagartario and the reopening of the roads were closed at night, said today in a statement PEVOLCA.

The statement added that the roads that were closed were the HI-5, where the tunnels Roquille, HI-500 and HI-50.

However, the statement says, we must stress that it is maintained a red light, Level 1, for La Restinga, in the municipality of El Pinar, and yellow for the rest of the island.

The only Civil Protection extraordinary measures that are currently maintained are the ban on access to the beaches of Puerto Naos and Tacorón and maritime exclusion zone.

The tunnel Regarding Roquille, the letter stated that the Department of Infrastructure of Roads will create a work area where there were defects in the shotcrete, so , together with the City Council of El Hierro, which will to clarify when and how to open the lanes, meaning Valverde Frontera, which was closed by the studies that were performed.
These decisions are made due to the reduced chance to occur high seismicity of magnitude exceeding 4.5 on the Richter scale, the maximum level established for the IGME that could produce landslides on the slopes of the tunnel.

In addition, the earthquakes that are occurring are occurring at a depth of more than ten miles.

On the other hand, has proceeded to place three accelerometers in the escarpment of the slope adjacent at Frontera tunnel, which allows greater control of potential landslides.

As preventive measures, the following will remain in El Hierro equipping the Red Cross and the EMU, as well as network communications, transport and port stations Advanced Command (PMA).

Regarding the Volcanic and Earthquake crisis PEVOLCA Scientific Committee reported that we are in a more relaxed state because in the past fortnight there has been no significant seismic activity, the magnitudes of the movements have been below 3.7, the horizontal deformation do not have a vertical pattern and remarkably show a downward movement with the exception of El Golfo.

In the latter case, the west, Sabina and Pozo de Salud are aimed at stability.

As for the eruptive process of La Restinga, the Scientific Committee said that is ongoing, as evidenced by the finds in the tremor amplitude confirming that the volcano is still emitting material and depending on what it is colored differently.

Since the first bathymetry by the scientific team Ramón Margalef ship has seen a decrease in the height of the volcano, which means that sectoral frequent landslides are producing typical underwater eruptions.

Although the emission level has registered an increase it must still be observed, according to the Institute volcanological de Canarias (Involcan), this is understandable because magma is still moving.

Finally, the Scientific Committee said that the scenario of a possible eruption in the north is still open but said that the situation is not clear, nor is it imminent at the time.

The National Geographic Institute donates a submarine volcano El Hierro rock to be exposed on the island

Staff of the House of the Cabildo de Lanzarote Volcano moved to El Hierro to study the development of the volcanic crisis that has been occurring since last October 10 on the island. Over a week, Orlando Hernandez, manager of Geodynamics Laboratory of Lanzarote, participated in a campaign gravimetric and review of various sensors on El Hierro. He did it with a team of Geodesy Group of the Institute of Geosciences.

Another activity was carried out for fieldwork in search of materials with staff from the Geological Survey of Spain and the Institute of Earth Sciences 'Jaume Almera'. Hernandez also maintained contacts with staff from the National Geographic Institute (IGN) in his visit to the Permanent Care Center (CAP). In this context, staff gave IGN Lanzarote representative rock samples from submarine volcano, which has been called 'restingolita', to become part of the permanent exhibition of the House of the Volcanoes.

The Minister of the Volcano House, Carmen Rosa Perez, noted that the Laboratory of Geodynamics "collaborates with numerous national and foreign exchange and data analysis, and so we think that our staff of the House of Volcanoes flock to the island of El Hierro ".

The House of the Volcanoes is located in the Parque Natural del Malpais de la Corona, on a volcanic pipe in the section known as del Agua Jameos. The facilities currently occupy 2,500 meters on two floors, which develops tourism, education and research. It is used as a venue for scientific meetings and courses are offered in conjunction with members volcanology Department of Volcanology Museum of Natural Sciences, Institute of Astronomy and Geodesy and teachers from the Universities of Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

The residents of La Restinga "first touch of the volcano" of El Hierro

2011-11-28T15:20:00.000+00:00

The residents of La Restinga have been able to touch for the first time a piece of lava that emerges from the submarine volcano of El Hierro and even homes have been part of this material. This was reported on Radio Lanzarote Lanzarote reporter Hugo Alberto Rojas, who has moved to the island to tell this story "historic" is going on since early October in the Canaries.

Rojas said that "it was very exciting" moment in which the scientists showed the pieces of lava Sunday the village of La Restinga. "Neighbors need to touch and see some of that volcano. The children and adults really enjoyed picking up the pieces, still smoking when they came into port, "stated the reporter.

It has also reported that the scientists exposed these pieces of lava in the Socio-Cultural Center in this town, "which was attended by many locals to see and touch part of the volcano."

Hugo Alberto Rojas traveled three years ago to El Hierro and this time found an island very different from that observed today. "Before there were many boats in the harbor, lots of activity. Now I do not see anyone in the sea, only the green spot, "he said.

The attitude of the children

Lanzarote reporter has been impressed by the attitude of children to process seismic-volcanic suffering El Hierro. "In La Restinga is a school child, with children very little ones. The director told me that suffered an earthquake in the middle class and small quickly took refuge under the tables. Furthermore, it is striking that from the window of the classroom and see the green blob bubbling, "he said.

The tranquility of the young is not reflected in the elderly, who are the ones who are "more anxious". "They felt the tremor at dawn, can not sleep and are worried. Some have even gone a couple of days to Tenerife just to get some sleep, "said Hugo Alberto Rojas.

In addition, the reporter pointed out that the citizens of La Restinga "are aware that this process will not end any time now" and the only peace they feel is thanks to the scientists, "who are right next door and that despite they have answered thousands of questions continue to meet the neighbors and explaining what is happening "under their feet.

El Hierro Updates November 28 2011

2011-11-28T13:35:00.000+00:00

Update 28/11 – 10:01 –
Just had long chat with scientists. Depth of vent yesterday was imprecise according to the captain. Now the real news, a new scientific ocean survey ship is coming tomorrow to map the area. It will also do work in the north (El Golfo region).
Data Update 28/11 – 08:33
- Harmonic tremor remained strong all night
- Contrary to yesterday, no smoking stones this morning. We have just watched a time lapsed period since the beginning of daylight and no surface activity has been noticed on the webcam
- Ian Carson reports that the usual stain is visible but no stirring activity
- 3 earthquakes since midnight, the strongest one being a M 2.0
- depths in between 17 and 21 km
- weather outlook for today : beautiful weather today, wind blowing from the east, maximum wave height : 0.6 meter, wind speed : 1 to 2 knots only – in other words a perfect day for volcano activity spotting

3 stones picked up out the Las Calmas sea yesterday, were transported to the mayors house in El Pinar (La Restinga belongs the El Pinar). The lava exposition was visited by students of the local schools. The lava stone in the middle has in the meantime been relocated to the Cabildo of El Hierro (the island authority).

Mixing Magmas, El Hierro

The break is done! First update looks at the continuing activity at El Hierro in Canary Islands continues. The “jacuzzis” persist to the south of the island (see above) with some indication that they might be closer to shore than before – however, they still don’t appear to be in shallow enough water or vigorous enough activity to be Surtseyan in nature. Plenty of the the steaming, black floating pumices are still being spotted on the water’s surface (see below). You can see some video of the “jacuzzis” with a helicopter hovering over them (video) and it clearly shows the ocean steaming. All the activity so far has been focussed to the south of El Hierro and the Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO) now says that there are “no signs” of an impending eruption to the north of the island.
IGN posted some information (spanish) on the petrology of the clasts being erupted from the submarine vents and it looks like the floating clasts don’t float for long: “The high vesicularity of both liquids is what gave a relatively low density, allowing them to reach the surface of the water and survive in it for few hours until the gas vacuoles were filled with water, finally sinking to the seabed.” (Google translation). This is typical for pumice clasts in most situations – once water saturates the rock, it loses the ability to float. IGN has now collected some impressively-sized pieces, too, measuring up to 2 meters.

The "jacuzzis" from the submarine vents south of El Hierro as seen on November 24, 2011. Image courtesy of INVOLCAN.

Compositionally, the clasts are a mix, as we’ve known for a while, but it seems that even the end members of the mix might be a mix. The dark material is low silica basanite (43-45 wt% silica) that is normal for El Hierro. The lighter material is more peculiar – not only is it different from the basanite, but it might be a mixture in itself. It contains both trachyte (similar to dacite but more sodium, potassium and calcium – 64-65 wt% silica) and rhyolite (74 wt% silica). [SPECULATION] That compositional different might suggest that the two true end members are the basanite and the rhyolite while the trachyte might be a mix of the two. Considering the clasts preserve the light and dark of the basanite and rhyolite, then the mixing that occurs during (or right before) the eruption is incomplete. Some samples preserve more of the mixing, thus contain the trachyte. The magmas are stored in very different conditions as well – basanite at 1200°C, likely in the newly intruding dike, and the rhyolite/trachyte at 850-900°C, likely as a crystal mush that the dike intersects. [/SPECULATION] There isn’t much of the lighter magmas either – IGN estimates there is roughly 10:1 volumetrically basanite to rhyolite/trachyte – similar to what is found in Iceland, where small volumes of rhyolites are found at many Icelandic volcanoes. The lighter rhyolite/trachyte might not be that old either – research at La Palma in the Canary Islands suggests that the time to differentiate a phonolite (similar to rhyolite) from a basanite is less than 1750 years

The volcano of El Hierro throws Pyroclasts up to one metre

Volcanic activity on the island El Hierro is ongoing. On Monday, a helicopter and rescue boat were able to spot check the status of the situation on the Sea of Calm.

The volcanic fissure continues ejecting material reaching the surface in the form of pyroclastic more than a meter in diameter. There are a greater number of material floating on the water between the plumes, which emerge on the spot of eruption.

On the other hand, and on Sunday, residents of El Hierro could see through the webcam installed the issuance of these large pyroclastic steaming streams of steam. The documentation gathered confirms that activity in the volcano area remains quite active. Moreover, the tremor has been declining in the area of La Restinga, a decline of between 5% and 10%

The IEO concludes that''there is no evidence of a new eruptive focus in the north of the island''

The latest report by the research vessel Ramon Margalef Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) has concluded that "to date there is no significant evidence of outgassing from volcanic eruption or a new focus in the northern rift the island of El Hierro. "

The report, dated November 19, 2011, contains the latest study physico-chemical-biological deep by Ramon Margalef ship in the north of the island of El Hierro. The main objective has been the detection of the existence of a possible focus or deep fissure eruption in the north.

For this purpose, concentrations were determined in different gases dissolved in the seawater from the first 5 meters above the seafloor to the surface of the ocean.

Some preliminary results that can be drawn from this study are the absence of hydrogen sulfide concentrations in the upper 100 meters above the ocean floor. Also, the pH, temperature, salinity and dissolved CO2 concentration are completely normal for these waters and these depths.

The National Geographic Institute scientists belonging to Research Center, offered on Sunday to the media several images of the emission of magmatic material held in the morning on Sunday in La Restinga.

Just after 0820 hours on Sunday the inhabitants of La Restinga could see this morning a new ejection of pyroclastic material from the eruption source. The place was a Maritime Rescue boat with scientists at the National Geographic Institute (IGN-CSIC) who came to the scene and were able to collect various bits of material for study.

It should be remembered that on Saturday, residents of La Restinga reported a new expulsion of material in the zone where underwater volcanic eruption in the sea of calm. So on two occasions have been able to observe the phenomenon, "large columns of gas and ashes" props that had precipitated on the surface magmatic material from the eruption.

The neighbors claimed to have seen floating rocks of various sizes, according to the account of the audience present at the time of the second expulsion of material, both produced before 13.00 pm on Saturday.

El Hierro Registered Two Earthquakes During The Night

DIARIOELHIERRO.ES, writing (27.11.2011. 09:30 am)

The National Geographic Institute (IGN) has recorded until 5:48 am this Sunday, 27 a total of two earthquakes on the island of El Hierro.

The first, of 1.5 magnitude on the Richter scale, was located at 4:35 pm in the southwest Frontera and 15 kilometers deep.

The second quake of 2.3 magnitude on the Richter scale, was found to 5:48 pm in the northwest Frontera and 25 kilometers deep.

EARTHQUAKES ON SATURDAY 5

Meanwhile, the volcano monitoring network monitoring 24 hours of National Geographic Institute (IGN) resgitró yesterday, Saturday 26, a total of five earthquakes in the island of El Hierro, between 1.6 and 2.7 magnitude on the scale of Richter.

According to the National Geographic Institute (IGN) collected by Diario El Hierro and could be subject to change, the five earthquakes recorded on Saturday in El Hierro have been located in the northwestern and western Frontera and between 17 and 20 km depth.

DIARIOELHIERRO.ES, writing (11.26.2011. 16:22 pm)

The submarine volcano has returned to La Restinga and is expelling pirclastos smoldering this morning to the sea surface, as confirmed by sources to Diario El Hierro However, this afternoon the situation has returned to normal in the area of eruption.

On the other hand, the National Geographic Institute has confirmed this morning to address the Civil Protection Plan for Volcanic Risk (Pevolca) during the day yesterday, Friday, 10 earthquakes were located, being only one of them felt by the population with an intensity of III.

Most of these events are located in El Golfo aligned in the NNW / SSE in the sea at a depth between 15-24 km. The more intense, with a magnitude of 3.1 on the Richter scale, occurred at 2:35 hours west of Frontera at a depth of 20 kilometers. In total, since the day July 17, 2011 11 842 events have been found.

Protective measures removed for the population of El Hierro

Protective measures removed for the population of El Hierro

The normality returns, for the moment, to El Hierro. The stability of the seismic-volcanic phenomenon has allowed the Emergency Plan Volcanic Islands (Pevolca) rule that it can suspend the measures taken so far. These affected a dozen people from the north, who had evacuated since early November, and the reopening of roads were closed, and the possibility of using the tunnels Roquille 24 hours a day.

The mayor of La Frontera, David Cabrera, has man been satisfied by the return to normalcy in the area.

The only measures which remains is the closure of the bays of Puerto Naos Tacorón and as long as the underwater eruption continues can not be ruled out that emissions of gases that accumulate there.

The reason for the decision is that the southern eruptive process runs its course without more novelty other than emissions variables to the sea. To the north are not expected earthquakes of a magnitude greater than 4.5, so that the risk of landslides has increased in an area where, on the other hand, there are continuous phenomena of this kind by the rains, according to neighbors.

All other indicators remain within expectations. CO2 levels rise, but that is normal because there are still emissions from magma, even underwater. The tremor is constant, and ground deformation increases somewhat in the north. However, there is no prospect of opening a new volcanic vent in the area.

The ship measures Ramon Margalef indicate that the cone in front of La Restinga loses height, confirming that there have been landslides.
