A new eruption started 30 min ago on El Hierro, and this time it's visible above sea. People who were in La Restinga to get things from their homes are now being evacuated again. They say a new vent has opened 2 miles from the coast and magmatic material is visible. It is no longer allowed to fly over the area.

The direction of PEVOLCA reports that, due to the onset of smoking at sea pyroclastic closes the access to the village of La Restinga until further notice.

It also ordered the ship back to port "Professor Ignacio Lozano" and have banned helicopter flights over the affected area.

In an hour or so, we could have a scientific assessment on the new stage.

Update 15/10 – 13:50 UTC :  At earthquake-report.com we are far from sure whether the current eruption is a magmatic eruption.  There are NO certain leads to this news.  As no planes or helicopters are allowed to overfly the area and as the oceanographic ship ran away from the eruption spot and as we have NO real-time satellite pictures, the present news in the Spanish media may be over exaggerated. Some news treads are reporting even an undersea pyroclastic flow ..........?!?

LET'S MAKE A SMALL SUMMARY FOR ENTERING NOW TO READ: A helicopter observes the stain detects a new spot and there are floating smoldering pyroclastic Re evacuated urgently to all those who had permission to be in the Restinga (scientists, media, ect) It extends the security zone two km more (from the entrance to the curve Tacorón Bones.) tremor signal seems to be gradually expanded. The acidity of the water seems to have increased in the area. The Canarian Government confirm the information above. The Pevolca meets in an hour and a statement is expected of scientists. The collected samples boat leaves the area and confirms strong smell (put masks to work), dead fish on the edges of the stain, and a darker color in the stain that comes new). Regrensan for safety on the other side of the island. Under the new picture you send us Strombola I think it's much closer to the coast. The fishermen say that the current zone can be 250-500 m deep. MAYOR El Pinar, want a repeat of PINAR REPEATEDLY THAT NO, NO, NO is evacuated. do not know if I forget something.

The Canarian Government have released this video showing the beginning of the flow (it doesnt look too alarming in this but maybe it increased in size?)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHagsS9WmzU

IGN-CSIC scientists confirm a fissure eruption type submarine in shallow waters http://www.gobcan.es/noticias/index.jsp?module=1&page=nota.htm&id=143789

15/10/2011 ... 17:16 - Ministry of Economy, Finance and Security

The Canary Islands government raises  the emergency to  red light, level 1

Residents should be reassured because preventive measures have been taken

Scientists at the National Geographic Institute (IGN) and National Research Center have confirmed, in the afternoon today, the leadership of the Civil Protection Plan for Volcanic Risk, a fissure eruption type submarine in shallow waters.

In response, the Canary Islands Government has decided to raise the emergency to red light, Level 1, in which, in addition to the mandatory evacuations, mobilized the necessary resources for intervention activities and logistics. This was transmitted PEVOLCA address to the people of La Restinga, which must follow closely the recommendations of the authorities and members of civil protection.

As is known, the researchers IGN-CSIC, spotted at the inspection carried out from a helicopter in the header area of the spot, about 2,400 meters from the nearest point on the coast, numerous steaming lava fragments in suspension , in an area of approximately 100 meters and surrounded by rows of gas bubbles. Also have observed a change in the color of the head, and this is more dark and turbulent aspect. This would mean that the eruption is occurring within 150 feet deep.

With this information, the direction of the Plan gave the order to close off access to the village of La Restinga, and prohibit air and sea traffic in the area. In this sense, Professor Ignacio Lozano vessel ceased research and returned to port.

From the direction of PEVOLCA want to convey to the people that this situation does not imply increased risk for them, since they are already taken "at the time" proper precautions, and summons the media to a hearing with the spokesmen of scientists so that they can clearly define the characteristics of this phenomenon. Headquarters will be in CECOI in Valverde, at 19:00.

IGN-CSIC scientists claim that the evolution of the volcanic eruption may have four phases 15-10-2011... 20: 28 - Ministry of economy, finance and security the culmination of all of them will depend on the amount of magma expelled the scientists of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) and Centro Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), have confirmed, in the afternoon today, that the eruptive process of El Hierro is a rash type surtseyana, composed of four phases. However, they pointed out that the culmination of these will depend on the amount of magma expelled by the volcano.

Explained the Coordinator of the team of scientists from the CSIC, Ramón Ortiz, the first phase, whose effects have seen today, is the expulsion of "bubbles of lava which gas and that a time they lose sink". In a second stage, according to Ortiz, "you can see a column of white steam" which will give step to the third stage which will be observed "a few explosions of black colour known as Rooster tails". Finally, "the growth of a small island which will flow a lava fountain dispenser type" can view.

Ramón Ortiz also assure that the diameter of the mouth of the volcano should be of approximately a meter in diameter and this has caused a strain on the island about five centimeters. He also said that the eruption will be visible when you are 60 meters of depth.

It will be recalled, the Canarian Government raised this morning the emergency situation at red traffic lights, level 1, which, in addition to mandatory evacuations, mobilize the necessary means for intervention and logistics activities. Thus the direction of the PEVOLCA has transmitted it to the population of La Restinga, which must carefully follow the recommendations of the authorities and members of civil protection.

For its part, the director-general of security and emergency, Juan Manuel Santana, announced that tomorrow will be held a new meeting of the Steering Committee of the PEVOLCA, which will assist the President of the Government, Paulino Rivero, and the director of the Plan and Councillor of Economics, finance and security, Javier Ortiz. The meeting will take place, at 13: 00, in the Town Hall of El Pinar.

CANARY ISLANDS -the dozens of Dutch vacationers on the tiny Canary Island of El Hierro are strongly advised today by Neckermann to move to the larger neighboring island of Tenerife. This because of an acute risk of a second volcanic eruption.
We want our guests to make transfer to Tenerife, because we do not assess what is good on El Hierro is going to happen. From Tenerife we can easier fly back to Netherlands, if that should quickly, "says a spokeswoman for Neckermann.

Neckermann takes that move costs. Holidaymakers, who knowingly have opted for the small scale and nature of El Hierro, are not obliged to follow the advice of their travel

 Earlier this week there was a tsunami five kilometres of the coast of El Hierro. The wait is on a new eruption, but is unsure where that will take place. Hundreds of residents on the South coast have already been evacuated.




Committee must determine whether there is a uitkeringsvat situation, so we cost of repatriation, additional hotel nights and the like can compensate ', according to Reuver.

Fear of tourists, you don't feel comfortable or ' ongezelligheid ' on a holiday destination are no reasons for the Emergency Fund to Reuver. ' There really need to clear evidence of imminent danger or a damaged infrastructure by a natural disaster. '

Anyone who believes that the situation has become untenable and criticism on El Hierro, is invited to contact directly the Emergency Fund in Rotterdam. To the Emergency Commission has taken a binding decision, the regular duty of care of travel organizations for their customers.

You must flee from El Hierro, or fall your vacation plans in the water? Mail The Telegraa f

Instead of obsessing over Hierro, everyone might be better looking over their shoulders and noting what's beginning to stir in Iceland. If Katla erupts soon as expected, could make last year's flight disruption seem insignificant ....

http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/qed/ Earthquakes worldwide in the last month. They seem to be as common as a rain shower in some parts of the world, yet no-one is panicing. You may notice that El Heirro doesn't merit a dot on the map.

Because there was a  slight risk of Tsunamai (which has happened in the past from a land slide in El Hierro) and the fact that these events are unpredictable it is worth watching I think especially since they still do  not have the proper equipment for analysing the sea bed. This could go on for weeks or months. We are following what is possibly the birth of a new Canary Island. [:)]

IGN-CSIC scientists describe evolution of volcanic eruption
Scientists at the National Geographic Institute and the Center for Scientific Research confirm new developments in the eruptive process that lasts over a week since the start based on the data obtained by the volcanic tremor last Sunday morning.

The type of eruption, as confirmed, is SURTSEYANA formed by four major phases.
The SURTSEYANA are eruptions under the sea where the water comes in contact with the lava and creates a geyser of lava and rocks that can form an island and cause tsunamis. The name given to this type of volcanic eruption from Monte Surtsey, 1963, Iceland.

But sources IGN CSIC and UNIVERSOCANARIO.COM ally refined the culmination of these depend on the amount of magma expelled by the volcano, so do not discard any of the hypotheses that have begun to study once magmatic phenomenon identified.

What occurred on Saturday is just the first phase of the eruption SURTSEYANA, involving the expulsion of lava bubbles that carry gas and once they lose sink into the seabed.

In a second stage will be appreciated white columns of steam, and that will eventually give way to the third phase to be observed black color explosions known as rooster tails.

The fourth and final phase will see the growth of a new island that lava flow source type.

Currently the Directorate General of Security and Emergency of the Canary Islands and PEVOLCA keep the situation in phase one of Red Alert, but could change because it's not out, by scientists, new eruptive ground.

Moreover, according to experts warn displaced to El Hierro, tremors will be felt from 2 to 4 on the Richter scale in the coming hours or days, and a significant increase in volcanic tremor, but "this is a spectacle of nature" they say.

The deformation of the island of El Hierro now exceeds two inches, so it follows that the mouth of the volcano must have a meter in diameter.

The rash is visible in a matter of hours, once you reach 60 meters deep.

As scientists do agree is on ensuring that the danger for the inhabitants is "null", given the security measures have been taken since the beginning of the operation, which resulted in the evacuation of the village of La Restinga.

The new eruption is reflected by the appearance of smoldering pyroclastic material on the surface of the sea, is located 2.4 kilometers off the coast of La Restinga and about 150 feet deep, and will continue coming to earth.

Iceland braces for even more powerful volcanic eruption

A dramatic overnight increase in seismic activity near the Katla volcano in southern Iceland has brought fears of a dramatic eruption, one that would make last year's massive air-traffic disruption seem like a walk in the park.

"It is definitely showing signs of restlessness," commented Pall Einarsson, a professor of geophysics at the University of Iceland. Like Eyjafjallajökull, Katla is located under a glacier, Mýrdalsjökull - but this time, the dimensions vary greatly: we are talking about a caldera of 10 km covered with 200–700 metres of ice. Its last eruption was in 1918, and it was absolutely catastrophic, blocking sunlight across huge areas, destroying plantations and indirectly killing livestock in massive numbers. However, we shouldn't panic, because even though seismologists explained how increased seismic activity seems to indicate an imminent eruption, there is still a large degree of uncertainty.

"However, given the heightened levels of seismicity", the Icelandic Meteorological Organization added, "the situation might change abruptly. Monitoring teams at IMO are following the ongoing activity closely, and sensor-based networks around the volcano ensure that all seismological, geodetic, and hydrological changes are detected."
