The island of La Palma in the Canaries was hit by an "earthquake swarm," with officials warning magma is building up under the Cumbre Vieja volcanic chain.
Thousands of small earthquakes have hit the Canary island of La Palma in recent days while growing stronger and moving closer to the surface, according to the regional government.
The Spanish island is the home of the Teneguia volcano in the Cumbre Vieja national park.
A team of volcanologists warned that an eruption could be possible in the coming days, according to a report in the El Pais daily on Thursday.
The team noted that magma was seeping into the volcanic chain, raising its peak by some 6 centimeters (2.4 inches).
"What's most likely is that the magma has found a way toward the surface and it is very likely that it will end up reaching it," said Luca D'Auria, the head of the Volcano Monitoring Department at the Canary Islands Volcano Institute (Involcan).

No, “climate change” in this report?
Oshk; Still planning that trip or did you already take it?
Probably based on the slope of the sea bed approaching land.
That graphic beneath the article that has the wave heights is from StanDeyo organization.
From what website is the animated graphic “La Palma Mega Tsunami” ?

We are supposed to be in Gran Canaria in March of 2022 if it’s still there. Right now we’re in Brussels, heading back to Spain tomorrow evening.
I’ll be on the panhandle. Not sure how much of a wave the Gulf will have.
Better hope it doesn’t ‘circle back’. 😨
Or else it will be a ginger tsunami.
The original article cited was from El Pais. I checked their English language website and they don’t have that tsunami graphic either.

If you can still pick up some Absinthe in Brussels it might help against Covid! (In moderation, of course!)
I lived in Glen Burnie once.......................
I think I’ve lived in every part of Maryland imaginable, but for the last 25 years I’ve lived on the Eastern Shore...very different from the Western Shore, although the bad influences are beginning to creep in. They leave there, come here, and bring their badness and their politics with them. Everything they touch turns to mud.
