Yesterday the volcano activity was low, and people began to think that the eruption could be coming to an end, because there had been a decrease in sulfur dioxide emissions, but today the activity is increasing again. (Source)

A slight deformation of the ground has been detected again near the volcano’s cone. (Source)

In Spain, days before Christmas, we do a special lottery draw, and the number 19921, the day the volcano began its eruption, has been sold out on La Palma (just in case). (Source)

Yeah, this one is really good. I love untouched images that fuck with my eyeballs. The last good one I remember was of an onion-dome church reflected in a puddle on pavement; it looked like it was being swallowed by sand dunes.
 
We got an extra Bushcraft Bear today. The main one where he is talking about it finally raining, and the ash problems that causes.

and the second addressing whether there is more than one volcano.
he references Youtuber duchinase in that one who is quite frankly is a bit of an autistic conspiracy geologist.

Short answer regarding how many volcano’s. One. A volcano is mainly defined by subsurface elements. Not the number of cones or vents. And even then it can get fuzzy. If you want to get really picky it is arguably one volcano, the entire island being a volcano. But more often they are defined by magma chambers /caldera. This one is a little unusual in that it has 2 magma chambers, one above the other. One sitting around 35km depth and one around 10-15 km. The lower chamber feeds the upper chamber.

The confusion about number of volcano’s comes from the IGN using 2 older inactive volcanos as monitoring sites. Including the live stream cameras. So the names of the other volcano’s show up in the data.

In other words, Geology is adding labels to things that are infinitely variable so no label fits right on top of all their theories being near impossible to test. Sounds bout right.

It’s both way more complex, and way simpler, and can make your head hurt. The Canary Islands are like Hawaii in that they are intra-plate volcano’s. They don’t occur due to the subduction of one plate under the other. Rather they are located more fully inside of a plate. Think of them sort of as a hole in the middle of the plate. But here’s where it gets weird. The hole doesn’t move. But the plate does. So the islands will slowly move out from over the source of the volcano.

If you look at a Map of the Pacific Ocean, and look look at the full Hawaiian chain as it stretches westward all the way to Midway island, befor hooking northwest. Those were all created by the same hole. The same volcano source. The source does not move. The crust above it does. Resulting in a chain of islands as the plate moves past the hotspot like a conveyor belt running at geologically slow speeds.

You responded to my snarky comment with answers to questions I didn't have.

There are 2 vents. The main one and one about 1km south. There is speculation about one to the north now...hal turner has a pretty good video.

The main vent however is the real energy maker it seems

We documented on Kiwifarms the second one. You can go back 12 pages and see the video's, it is undeniable a second mound had erupted. However the second vent i mentioned that is focused on in this video has just become a small smoldering pimple.

Ya know how sometimes you're just up at 2 in the morning craving cheese, so you get up and get cheese and then go online since just eating cheese and staring at a wall at 2am is just too sad and mouse-like and you notice a thing saying that La Palma got a 4.0 earthquake 11 km down?

I've only been casually following this. Is that in the danger zone? Do I get to see DC underwater?

But what kind of cheese? And ifs omething new erupts, ask Bushcraft Bear if he had a cheese craving at the same time. For science.

It was sharp cheddar. I bypassed the two packages of goat cheese, the mozzarella sticks, sliced American and shredded Mexican blend to get to it.

If the goats on La Palma eat & drink food & water contaminated with ash & sulphur-laden rain, would that make the local cheese (queso palmero) taste like volcano?

I'm down for some volcanic cheese (not the kind from 7-11).

Maybe Bushcraft would send us some in a couple months.... if the island is still there.

Well unless the island starts sinking or shit like that. I think any church or synagogue will grant an exception for that sort of thing. “Stay indoors and quietly pray, unless the house starts filling with lava. At which point you may run and pray much faster and louder”. If it’s not in your holy book of choice, it damn well should be.
