Involcan register more than 60 earthquakes in the Cumbre Vieja volcano
The Canary Islands Volcano Institute (Involcan) has registered more than 60 low-magnitude earthquakes since 4:10am yesterday on the Cumbre Vieja volcano, on the island of La Palma.
According to Involcan, this new seismic swarm does not represent a danger for residents or visitors to the island given the small magnitude and depth of the earthquakes.
It also does not reflect a significant change in volcanic activity in Cumbre Vieja, which since 2017 has experienced 8 seismic swarms including yesterday, 1 in 2017, 1 in 2018, 6 in 2020 and now 1 in 2021, they added.
