La Palma (Canary Islands (Spain)): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Toulouse warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 10000 ft (3000 m) altitude or flight level 100 and is moving at 5 kts in S direction.
The full report is as follows: ERUPTION AT 20210919/1410Z WITH ASH EMISSION ONGOING OBS VA DTG:23/2100Z to 10000 ft (3000 m)
…23 Sep:
The eruption has been becoming „ashier“; today, the plume has been reaching 4000 m and is visible from much of the island.
Deformation data show inflation overall is continuing although the trend has slowed down, or even decreased temporarily yesterday. Volcanic tremor remains high, but has been showing a slight decrease compared to the past days.
This suggests that the eruption might be becoming more stable, although it cannot be ruled out that new fissures open and new lava flows might appear.
…23 Sep:
The eruption is now concentrated on the new fissure near Tacande that opened yesterday.
This morning, we could see tall lava fountains continuing from it as well as a new lava flow that reached approx. 1-2 km length in the area between Tacande and La Laguna.
…23 Sep:
A new lava flow map of the current eruption site has been published and updated today.
The map depicts current lava flows that continue to keep active and slowly advancing towards the coast.
…23 Sep:
The aerosol plumes from the eruptions continue to travel along the northern Africa and south Europe.
The Copernicus’s latest satellite-based measurements of SO2 concentrations in the atmosphere depict that they will reach Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya including a large part of Iberian Peninsula and Mediterranean coasts of France and Italy this Friday (24 September).

…22 Sep:
Activity continued to increase overall. During the course of the morning, two more fissures opened, one close to the original ones and another one further north of the existing vents, southeast of Tacande village, which was evacuated soon after. The opening of the vent followed rapid ground inflation in this area of 15 cm, according to unconfirmed information.
Most activity now seems to occur from the Tacande vent. It is well visible from the highway LP3 when going west after exiting the tunnel and attracts many tourists and locals alike to watch. Already, an elongated cinder cone has formed around it, and continuous lava fountains have been rising to approx. 2-300 m or more in height, producing a steam and ash plume that was rising approx. 2000 m and visible when we approached the island by airplane.
