“We are in the moment of more activity”
Itahiza Domínguez, an expert from the National Geographic Institute (IGN) has granted an interview for Radio Canarias. “We cannot rule out that the eruption lasts longer. We do not have data on historical eruptions. We are at the time of greatest activity, there has never been the tremor of now, but the positive part is that everything is kept in the same eruptive center.”
As for the laundry, has assured that “it would not be ruled out if it overflowed to one of the two sides, the area of concern is now the south because it could go further, but it all depends on the shape of the cone … it is a very changing process and depends a lot from day to day. The orography of the area has changed completely, we cannot rule out that the streams will reach inhabited areas again. ” “What we see at a depth of 11 km seems to be the feedback coming from below. We must also remain vigilant in case the explosiveness increases and we must evacuate another area. That happened the first week but has not happened again. The eruptions Historic sites in the Canary Islands have several cones. In strombolian eruptions the cone is constantly forming and there are several emission points, we are seeing the fissure, it falls within the normal and expected in this type of eruption. In this case, the main cone is pretty big”.
Regarding lava flows, points out that “there have been moments when they were very fluid, right now it seems that there are moments when it is fluid and others when not so much, we are not reaching the levels of the beginning, but we have to wait and see how it goes evolving “.
