La Palma volcano update for November 5, 2021: SO2 emission, earthquake activity and volcanic tremor…
“We are far from an end here! The volcano has not stopped yet and is just entering a (short) phase of stabilization, but will continue ejecting lava during a long period,” said Carmen López from the IGN (National Geographic Institute).
During the same Pevolca meeting, the scientists stated that the activity of the La Palma volcano has increased in the last few hours characterized by a considerable increase of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the plume (up to 29,400 tons/day), and a significant increase of the volcanic tremor (now at medium levels again).
In parallel, the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission also increases at the Cumbre Vieja ridge (sea), reaching 1,850 tons/day.
