La Palma (Canary Islands (Spain)): The volcano continues to erupt, but activity remains lower compared to the past weeks. No significant explosive activity has occurred at the vents today, and lava effusion seems to have dropped as well, as less lava was seen reaching the new ocean delta today and only minor progress at few active fronts. The number of destroyed or damaged buildings increased to 2616.
Tremor is at similar levels as yesterday, but has been more fluctuating, sometimes dropping to very low values. This should suggest that magma supply is at times interrupted now although it is far from certain that this is the case. As the lava field is growing above an extended system of tubes, much lava can be stored in it without being easily visible.

…14 Nov:
The eruption claimed its first (indirect) fatality yesterday. A 72-year old man was killed while cleaning his roof from the heavy load of ash when the roof collapsed. He had a special permit to enter the restricted area to look after his home.
