New fissure opens in La Palma volcano

An erupting volcano in the Spanish archipelago of the Canary Islands opened a new fissure on its slope this Friday, when the authorities registered eight new earthquakes of magnitude 3.5.

It is the third fissure to open since the Cumbre Vieja crater erupted on the island of La Palma on September 19. The prompt evacuation of at least 6 thousand people prevented personal injuries. Authorities are waiting to see if the lava from the new outbreak joins the main stream, which reached the Atlantic Ocean a few days ago.


Furthermore, authorities monitored air quality along the coast where the river of molten rock falls into the sea. Sulfur dioxide levels in the area increased but do not pose a threat to health, said the island’s government, which recommended that residents of the place not go abroad. In addition, residents of the island were recommended to use a mask and eye protection due to the fall of volcanic ash . So far, lava has damaged more than a thousand buildings, including homes and agricultural infrastructure, and has buried around 338 hectares (835 acres). La Palma, whose nearly 85 thousand inhabitants live mainly from growing fruit and tourism, is part of the volcanic archipelago of the Canary Islands, located in northwestern Africa. The island is just 35 kilometers (22 miles) long and 20 kilometers (12 miles) at its widest point. Life continues normally in the rest of the territory despite the eruption.
