El Hierro, Canary's - Red-Alert, Eruption Underway

[GCANE]

Big jump in tremor amplitude in the last 30 minutes.

Looks like it is pegging the seismo.

The bubbling has re-emerged a few minutes in the calm sea.

From the coast of La Restinga in El Hierro has been observed bubbling to the surface.

Important update 05/11 – 18:10 UTC :

EVACUATION CALLED AT LA RESTINGA (‘source : Diario El Hierro) due to the stronger coastal activity and toxic gases. Pevolca also fears that the the current activity may come closer to the coast.

VERY IMPORTANT Update 05/11 – 18:36 UTC :

We do not like to call it “Breaking news” in the title, but we just received a confirmation from Raymond Matabosch that he sees at this moment at least 5 Jacuzzi’s getting stronger.

Some jacuzzi’s are taking the effect of low geyser activity.

Raymond can see this at this moment from his location somewhere on the coast.

[GCANE]

We just got a call from an excited Joke Volta that a new powerful Jacuzzi (vent) can be seen from the La Restinga El Pinar road.

She is currently making pictures from it. We have to be cautious with news reports as we our blind ourselves (installing a webcam with a view on the coast looks to be impossible to realize), but the least that we can say, is that a lot is going on below the La Restinga coast.

The video has been made with a cheap cellular phone, sorry for the quality, but so far this is the only image/video that we have. Why the excitement : because this vent is much bigger and powerful than before.

UPDATE 3:15 EDT: It looks like the phreatomagmatic explosive activity is beginning south of El Hierro.

Prensa El Hierro tweeted (translated): “Juan Manuel Santana have just announced that produce water columns and ash.”

La Restinga is being evacuated as a precaution

Very Important Update 07/11 – 11:12 UTC :

Involcan Canary Islands has released a very important picture showing the water temperature at the Jacuzzi spot.

The difference in temperature in between the normal sea water and the jacuzzi spot is 11 degrees C.

The volcano gives off a "big rock"

Witnesses describe a "huge stone"-a pyroclastic-that was thrown.

The Civil Guard urgently evacuated neighbors who had come to La Restinga to collect belongings.

Rising from beneath the waves: A new Canary Island emerges as underwater volcano hits the surface

Volcano off El Hierro is just 70metres away from the surface and is spewing magma 20metres into the sky

Nearby town is evacuated and ships banned from travelling to the area as strong smell of sulphur fills the air

Explosive plumes and jets have been spotted coming from the volcano for the last month
